Challenges 

The outdated installations cause a number of problems related to the quality of the services provided by Veolia Energy Varna EAD - leaks and flooding; banging noise in the narrow sections of the installation; energy losses; need of constant adding of water to the installation to compensate for the fluid losses caused by leaks; constant repairs, which in most of the cases do not solve the main issues and a lot of signals to the technical team.

 

On 7 September 2015 Veolia Energy Varna EAD became the legal successor of Dalkia Varna EAD, the company which in 2007 became the sole owner of Toplofikatsia-Varna EAD. 


Veolia Energy Varna EAD is the only company on the territory of the city of Varna with an issued by the EWRC license for heat transmission as well as a license for the production of electrical and heat energy. 
 

Solutions

Over the last years the company,has invested in the replacement of heating and water supply installations for domestic hot water and commissioned 3 new installations for cogeneration of heat and electricity. 

 

We have replaced:

  • 1/3 оf the heat transmission network of the city of Varna with new modern and efficient pipes and has hence reduced twice the water and heat losses,  and 
  • 2/3 of the substations in Varna where the new substations are in line with the latest technologies

The company has introduced a system for monitoring and automatic control of the substations, the heat transmission network and the production capacities has been introduced, which guarantees the optimal performance of the activity and gradual introduction of remote meter readings.

Thanks to the effective management of the production and transmission more than 17% on average of primary fuel and the relevant carbon emissions every year have been saved.


In 2020 the first deals for sale of energy savings certificates are expected to be implemented with end customers of other obliged parties in the sector, which do not have projects to comply with their energy efficiency obligation.
