District Heating Sector
Heating sector
District Heating sector based on the combustion of lignite and steam coal in The Czech Republic has been struck by tightening European environmental standards as well as low wholesale electricity prices and requirements for low heat prices.
Long-term procurement of fuel is also an actual issue arising from a gradual coal mining decline in the Czech Republic.
Substantial part of the cogeneration plants in the Czech Republic keep on utilizing original technologies, which were, however, designed to operate in entirely different regimes. These technologies need to be gradually replaced during cogeneration plant’s modernization.
Therefore cogeneration plants’ operators find themselves in the difficult position due to the fact that low wholesale electricity prices and requirements for low heat prices extend a payback period of investments.
