ELCEN on the latest accident in Bucharest: The district heating network is in a serious technical condition. Losses have tripled in recent years – Essential

ELCEN once again draws attention to the serious technical condition of the district heating network, “lacking, in recent years, major repairs and absolutely essential investments in modernization, which has caused the explosive increase in losses”. These have tripled in just a few years, from 2016 to now, putting great pressure on ELCEN’s energy facilities, say company representatives after a new accident in the Capital.

Electrocentrale București informs that, on the night of Friday to Saturday, there was damage to the facilities of the CET București Sud “whose effect extended to part of the energy equipment causing their activation”.

“The ELCEN teams mobilized immediately and intervened promptly to limit the effects of the incident during the night. In a few hours, the maneuvers carried out made it possible to return to 75% of the operating parameters, which is why, at this moment, the facilities and CET Bucharest South aggregates are in the process of returning to nominal parameters. During this day they will return to the normal situation before the incident, “the company reported, quoted by Mediafax.

ELCEN draws attention to the serious technical state of the district heating network “which, in recent years, has undergone major repairs and absolutely essential investments in modernization, which has caused an explosive increase in losses (as we have already shown. they have tripled in a few years, from 2016 to the present), exerting great pressure on ELCEN’s energy facilities as well ”.
