Letter from the TEE for district heating

As President of the Department of Western Macedonia of the TEE, with a sense of responsibility towards both actors, that as the institutionalized technical advisor of the state we strengthen and assist in every appropriate way in their work, but also towards the society and the citizens of our region, we address this letter to you, concerning district heating in Kozani, in order, immediately, take all necessary steps to ensure its smooth operation.

At 18/02/2019, with the data known until then (απόσυρση των μονάδων ΙΙΙ και IV το 2032 and unit V the 2042), υπεγράφη η νέα Σύμβαση για την Προμήθεια Θερμικής Ενέργειας στην πόλη της Κοζάνης (on the basis of the framework for the supply of thermal energy provided in the contract) between: (a) PPC SA. , (b) MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE COMPANY OF KOZANI and (c) of the Municipality of Kozani for the acquisition of total thermal power 137 MWth which is the base load to meet the energy needs of the city, with parallel connection from units III, IV and V of the AES / PPC Agios Dimitrios Kozani.

The duration of the contract is 8 years with retroactive effect, starting from 1/1/2013 until 31/12/2020 with automatic extension every five years with the terms and conditions of the article 3. In particular, it is provided that the contract is valid and is renewed if the thermal energy units continue to operate normally and have not been placed in a state of withdrawal or emergency reserve..

For the smooth operation of the Kozani district heating installation, it is necessary to supply during the heating season. (from 15/10 until 15/5 every year) of at least two lignite units from the above, at full load, while Tuesday, based on the original design, is used as a backup power supply in the event of a fault or failure for any reason of one of the other two.

With the data so far, however, and especially from 2018 and later, the systemic phenomenon is observed, in the best of circumstances, to include two units from the system (3 and 4 of AIS / PPC Agios Dimitrios Kozani) at partial load < 220 MWe (with maximum thermal power gain ~ 104 MWth) l or only one of them (thermal power gain 50 – 52 MWth) at unpredictable and irregular intervals, with everything,what does this mean.

This phenomenon has worsened, especially after the implementation of the target model in the electricity market and the integration of the units in the power generation system automated by IPTO, exclusively with economic criteria.

The consequence of this is the lack of thermal power and the need to consume increased amounts of heating oil in the cutting-edge boiler room / εφεδρείας από την ΔΕΥΑ ΚΟΖΑΝΗΣ με σημαντική οικονομική επιβάρυνση, in cases of occurrence of continuous periods of low temperatures (< 0ο C ) nor is that enough.

It is worth noting that, mainly due to the aforementioned cause, from 2016 up to 2020 the percentage of participation of the boiler room in the coverage of the thermal energy needs increased from 2,03% in the 6% and the corresponding expense caused exclusively by the aforementioned operating regime amounts to ~ 1,000,000 € per year, significantly affecting the viability of the business.

Η ΔΕΥΑ ΚΟΖΑΝΗΣ έχει την υποχρέωση να παράσχει θερμική ενέργεια στις εγκαταστάσεις θέρμανσης του καταναλωτή και να λαμβάνει κάθε μέτρο απαραίτητο για την διασφάλιση της ομαλής και απρόσκοπτης λειτουργίας της παροχής. Based on the article 17 of its operating regulations, Consumers can stop providing the service if they are not satisfied with it.

It is obvious that conditions of insufficiency or lack of thermal load create the above conditions for the termination of the contract by the customers and the loss of revenue.
