On February 3, Energy Club held an expert discussion titled “The Future of Thermal Energy: Between Decentralization and Reality.”
Amid constant threats to the energy infrastructure, leading experts, government officials, and business representatives gathered to discuss a new heat supply strategy and find a balance between centralized generation and decentralized solutions.
Here are the key insights from the event speaker.
Bezus pointed to a “crisis of intellect” in decision-making and called for professional discussion over populism.
“The presence of large CHPs in Kyiv is a stroke of luck; they need modernization, not abandonment.
The share of high-efficiency small cogeneration in a city like Kyiv should be around 10%. Backup power is best provided by block-modular boiler houses, which are a cost-effective and easily preserved solution. We need to move past pseudo-intellectual communications and return to professional demand management.”
