Andrius Janukonis Lithuanian District Heating Association Chairman of the Board 5 October, 2005 Emily Melton (Manager Member Services, WEC London Office) visit to Lithuania Round-table Discussion AB “Lietuvos energija”, Vilnius DH Sector in Lithuania

DH market share in Europe

Members of LDHA – 28 DH companies LDHA members produce and supply around 99% of the total heat supplied to the DH network in Lithuania

DH Ownership structure, 2004 The lease of heat utilities to foreign and domestic investors started in 2000 (9.5% with JV) (ownership 100% in municipality)

CHP electricity delivered to the network

Guidelines of DH Development The share of CHP electricity would make up not less than 35% in 2020 (currently it makes about 17.2%) The share of CHP heat would make up not less than 75% in 2020 (currently it makes about 50%) Modernize CHP plants in Vilnius and Kaunas and construct a pilot CHP plant in Panevėžys Construct modern CHP plants in Siauliai, Klaipėda, Alytus, Marijampolė and other cities until 2020

Fuels used for DH production It is foressen that production of heat using local, renewable and waste resources would make 17% in general heat balance in 2010, and 23% - in 2020.

Fuel input for DH production 2004  DH companies more and more often go for installation of biofuel fired boilers. The total installed capacity of such boilers has reached more than 220MW.  Biofuel makes 10.0% in the general fuel balance and this share in the regional DH companies exceeded 21%. LithuaniaSweden

Key indicators of the DH sector Unit Heat delivered to the network GWh Heat delivered to consumers GWh Technological heat losses % ,8 Average cost of fuel EUR/toe Turn over for heating mio. EUR Average price EUR/MWh

Technological DH distribution loss  Main heat transfer lines in the network were installed years ago and their operational resource is coming to the end.  In 2004 approx. 72 mio. LTL (about 21% of the total investment amount) invested in this field

Average DH tariff in Lithuania, 2004 The average price of heat is decreasing: it was LTL/MWh in 2003, while in 2004 – LTL/MWh

National Energy Strategy - Heat Sector Strategy for the Heat Supply Development Heat supply development plans for municipalities CHP in DH systems (after the closure of Ignalina NPP) Encourage use of local and renewable energy sources Improve energy efficiency Competition among heat producers Procedure for independent heat producers Modernise heat supply systems Procedure for the purchase of CHP electricity Adopted by Seimas: 10/

Energy Law Adopted by Seimas: 16/ Energy savings Energy efficient use of primary energy sources Reducing energy intensity Diversification (fuel imports, indigenous fuels) Promotion of indigenous fuels Reliable and cost-effective production Reducing effects on the environment Forming legal and economic conditions for investments Increase economic efficiency: competition, private invest.

Heat Law Adopted by Seimas: 20/ Heat operator tasks (supply heat, maintain system) Heat planning and zoning etc. Relation with heat consumers (responsibilities) New customer contract principles Regulation of consumers’ disconnection options Transparency for consumers Access for external parties to supply heat Separation from municipal economic activities

Competition in DH sector The competition between the suppliers of alternative types of fuels. The heat production shall be based on the competition between the heat producers. The hot water preparation and supply shall be based on competition. The state (municipalities) shall promote competition in the field of maintenance of heating and hot water systems inside the multy-family apartment houses.

Municipal Heat Plans The municipalities shall manage the heat sector in conformity with the special Municipal Heat Plans. The main objective of the Municipal Heat Plans shall be to satisfy the consumers heat demand on least costs. The Municipal Heat Plans shall be in conformity with the state strategy, national objectives in the energy industry. The government may provide assistance and support in implementing the Municipal Heat Plans.

There are 60 municipalities in Lithuania

Heat Supply License The heat suppliers shall obtain the heat supply license. The heat supply license to the heat supplier supplying not less than 5 GWh of heat/year is issued by the National Control Commission for Prices and Energy. The heat supply license to the heat supplier supplying less than 5 GWh of heat/year is issued by Municipalities

Heat pricing The heat and hot water prices shall be the single - component or the double - component. The heat and hot water prices might be differential depending on the heat supply system, consumer groups, volume of heat consumption, season of consumption.

Long-term renovation program “Let’s renovate dwelling- renovate City” On June 2004 Vilnius City Municipality started the implementation of long – term renovation program “Let’s renovate dwelling - renovate City”. World fund for Environmental Protection gave a loan of 6,5 million USD (3 million USD is intended for building renovation). Pilot project – overall renovation of 3 multi-family apartment buildings - is implemented within this project framework.
