Abstract

This Act promotes economic and environmentally friendly consumption of energy generated for heating of buildings. It applies to the supply of hot water for heating production, which purpose is to reduce energy production from oil. Heating supply through hot water infrastructure includes: installations for the production and delivery of other combustible gases than natural gas (1); plants for delivery of heated water or steam from waste incinerators, industrial, geothermal plants, etc. (2); municipal heating installations, solar heating, waste incineration, including combined heat and power plants with a rated power up to 25 MW (3); and heating with a heat capacity of more than 0.25 MW, including combined heat and power stations with a rated power up to 25 MW. The Municipal Council shall approve projects that establish new collective heating supply facilities, or that applies major changes in existing facilities. Geothermal plants, solar and biogas or biomass heating, or combined heat and power plants supplying heated water, steam or gas (other than natural gas) shall be subject to the payment of a fee.
