1. Motto "Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act" Albert Einstein Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

2. Improving the Energy Efficiency of Municipal Heat and Hot Water Supply in Kishinev • Skopje 2011 • Ecaterina Fabian • City Hall of Kishinev Municipality Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

3. INTRODUCTION • Background • Issues of Energy Efficiency ignored since soviet times • 94-96% of energy imported • Strong need inmecanisms/ technologies that would contribute to efficient use of energy • Undubitable environment benefits • Starting with incorporation of EE perspective in Local Authority administration Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

4. How? • Reducing the consumption of energy for H&HW by rehabilitation of an individual TP (substation) related to public institutions (school) in Kishinev Municipality Why? • The GHG emissions from H&HW supply account for 25 -35% of the total GHG emissions of the CIS countries • The overall energy losses of the existing H&HW supply in Moldova reach up to 40% (20-25% modern systems) • The heat losses is due to old, obsolete equipment (25 -40 years) and inadequate maintenance (25-30% loses of modern systems) • Considerable spending on heating and hot water supply at municipal level Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

5. With whom? • Municipal Heat Supply Company – executor of the technical works, technical assistance provider and responsible for the follow-up 2 years monitoring after the completion of the works • City Hall of Chisinau Municipality – main stakeholder and implementer (owner) • Congress of Local Authorities from Moldova – responsible for visibility and replication • National Agency for Energy Efficiency – main funder Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

7. PROJECT DESCRIPTION • Overall objective Improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the municipal heat and hot water supply system in Kishinev Municipality • Immediate objective Rehabilitation, modernization and installation of the automatic control system and meters to the Thermal Plant of Municipal Boarding School nr.35 Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

8. Time framing Project is designed in II phases: I phase – technical rehabilitation and modernization of a TP • Start: June 2011 • End: September 2011 II phase – capacity building and awareness rising • Start: June 2011 • End: December 2011 Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

9. OUTPUTS: • Increased efficiency of the Thermal plant • H&HW supply automatic control system • A better monitoring of resources used and H&HW produced • More technically capable practitioners in municipal DH enterprise and departments • More EE public informed • Additional municipal founds released as result of rehabilitation of thermal plant Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

10. OUTCOMES: • Improved confidence in the feasibility, performance, environmental and economic benefits of EE technology applications • DH Company gain experience and now-how in energy efficiency and new generations of heat supply systems • Monitoring of heat and hot water supply control system acquisition • Comfortable conditions for students and teachers • Municipal budget spending minimized • New mechanisms of reinvesting saved founds in EE activities created Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

11. RISKS Risk 1 Risk 2 FINANCIAL - weak financial status of the municipality → MITIGATION - Split the financing among several donnors • POLITICAL – especially tense in the period of elections (June 2011) → MITIGATION – keep community informed from the implementation phase about project activities and effects Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011

12. ASSUMPTIONS(external factors, which must act together with the project) • Continuing commitment of the stakeholders to promote restructuring of the heat and hot water supply sector • Project implementers maintain technical and operational capacity to identify appropriate technologies and know-how to be used Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas - Skopje 2011
