And the heads of the municipalities are postponing the supply of heating to apartment buildings: residents still do not want central heating, which will double in price somewhere this year.
When the weather cools down, but the central heating still doesn’t work, the temperature in Janina’s apartment in Šiauliai is already below 20 degrees. To keep it warmer, the woman opens the bathroom door and radiates heat from her so-called coil into her one-bedroom apartment. And to make it even warmer, the woman is more likely to clog the tea, cover it with blankets, and say enough for now.
“Somehow I don’t think much, if it’s cold, I have something to cover myself, I cover myself. But it’s scary if it will be as cold as it used to be, “says senior Janina.
He admits that he does not expect central heating, because this year he will have to pay a third more than last year: “Winter is coming, I don’t know how much I’ll count, I think a lot. 30 percent contribute, maybe 80 euros will not be needed. I barely said an ugly word. “
However, the Šiauliai municipality decided to start the heating season in two days. True, not yet for apartment residents, because warmer weather is forecast in the second half of the week. First of all, the heat and educational institutions will heat up.
“It is cold in the premises, the children sit in jackets in classes and kindergartens. We hope that on the 22nd, a day will still be necessary for the preparation of the heating networks ”, says Vincas Urbonavičius, representative of the Šiauliai municipality.
Vilnius is already announcing the start of the heating season. After a weekend of dargana, city leaders decided it was time to heat up the treatment and education facilities today. It is already hot in the municipality itself. And many Vilnius residents fear 60 percent. Higher heating bills than last year and I agree to still suffer at home, because expensive heating does not wait:
“Not yet, it is not cold, it is possible without heating.”
“It just came to our notice then. There will be warm-up, not yet.”
“The weather will get hotter, not necessarily.”
“We are not complaining, we live in a newly built apartment, we are hot.”
How many titles at home? 16-19. Let’s not freeze, we are resistant. “
“It just came to our notice then. Let’s get dressed, let’s not freeze.”
Seeing such moods from Vilnius residents and the drastic rise in heating prices, municipal leaders keep putting off heating for apartment buildings.
“New construction consumes less, the price of a flat will be 35 euros. However, the old construction of 50 square kilometers. last year, the apartment cost about 45 euros, this year it can go up to 70 euros and more ”, says Laurynas Jakubauskas, representative of Vilnius Heat Networks.
“In general, we have not yet announced the heating season in Vilnius. We see a possible warm-up next week. Looking at the early calendar, last year the heating season started on October 15, ”says Vilnius Deputy Mayor Valdas Benkunskas.
The municipalities of Panevėžys and Kaunas have decided to supply heat to the institutions from tomorrow. And for apartment buildings it will be decided later.
“There is still no solution for residents, we are monitoring the weather forecast. Starting tomorrow, the heating season will be announced in the treatment and training institutions, ”says Raimundas Endrikis, representative of the Kaunas municipality.
With the increase in the price of biofuel and natural gas burned in heating companies, heat will be more expensive by about 60 percent for Vilnius residents and about 30 percent for Šiauliai residents because of the heat centrally supplied. Klaipėda residents and Panevėžys residents about 15 percent. And for some residents of smaller cities, the price of heating will almost double.
“The territory of the Pravieniškės Correctional Center, users of the Nemenčinė utility. There, almost all the heat is produced with natural gas. Therefore, the price rises significantly. It is worth mentioning Elektrėnai ”, says Matas Taparauskas, member of the State Energy Regulatory Council.
The State Energy Regulatory Council, which sets heating prices, says it has started talks with government officials on how to reduce the increase in heating prices at least starting in January. For example, to spread the heating payments throughout the year, to expand the circle of beneficiaries by increasing the amount of subsidized income, to force the state company to supply cheaper biofuels to the heaters.
