Upgrading district heating systems
Modernizing heating infrastructure and improving the efficiency of district heating networks.
Demonstration projects show how cities can effectively turn their Sustainable Energy Action Plans into practical, measurable action.
The EU Programme ‘Covenant of Mayors – Demonstration Projects’ (CoM-DeP) was developed in response to the challenges facing small municipalities of less than 200,000 residents that have signed up to the Covenant of Mayors Initiative.
The Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) is the key document that sets out how each municipality will reach its CO2 reduction target.
Many cities in the Eastern Partnership region, however, do not have the technical or financial capacity to implement these Plans.
Demonstration projects show how cities can effectively turn their SEAPs into practical action.
Since 2015, 20 cities in 5 Eastern Partnership countries have modernized city street lighting, district heating systems, and thermally refurbished residential and public buildings under the EU-financed programme.
The first projects received a total of EUR 14 million in funding. Currently, 15 more municipalities are implementing energy efficiency projects with total funding of more than EUR 10 million.

Municipalities are implementing practical measures designed to improve energy efficiency, modernize infrastructure and increase the use of renewable energy sources.
Modernizing heating infrastructure and improving the efficiency of district heating networks.
Improving the energy performance of public and residential buildings through thermal refurbishment.
Increasing the use of renewable energy sources within local communities.
Introducing modern, energy-efficient lighting systems throughout cities.
To replace several kilometers of heat pipelines, to close the boiler house, to fully refurbish the school. In Novovolynsk they are sure that the steps towards economical and conscious energy consumption must be large-scale ones.
That is why they started their progress to the energy future with substantial changes in their own town.

Программа Европейского Союза «Соглашение Мэров – Демонстрационные проекты» (CoM-DeP) была создана в ответ на вызовы, с которыми сталкиваются небольшие города – Подписанты Соглашения Мэров с населением менее 200.000 жителей.
План Действий по Устойчивому Энергетическому развитию (ПДУЭР) – ключевой документ, который предусматривает, как каждый муниципалитет планирует достичь целей по снижению выбросов CO2.
Многие города в регионе Восточного Партнерства не имеют надлежащего технического и финансового потенциала для внедрения своих Планов.
Программа «Соглашение Мэров – Демонстрационные проекты» показывает, как города могут эффективно воплотить свои ПДУЭР в реальные проекты.
Начиная с 2015 года, 20 муниципалитетов в 5 странах Восточного Партнерства модернизировали свои уличные системы освещения, системы централизованного теплоснабжения и термомодернизировали общественные и жилые здания в рамках программы «Соглашение Мэров – Демонстрационные проекты», финансированной ЕС в размере 14 млн. евро.
Сейчас еще 15 городов внедряют энергоэффективные мероприятия с общим бюджетом проектов более 10 млн. евро.
