The largest energy-saving project in the region was presented in Lutsk. Back in November 2002, the strategic development plan of the enterprise "Lutskteplo" was approved. At that time, utility workers and the authorities envisioned combined production of electricity and heat energy. It was decided that the project for implementing the so-called cogeneration system would be introduced at the boiler house on 2 Karbyshsheva Street. The novelty will be based on the use of an industrial gas turbine. The flow of hot gases from the turbine will be directed into steam boilers. There, steam will be produced, which in turn will rotate the gas and steam turbines. They will produce electricity, and the spent steam will be redirected to the boilers and supplied to consumers. Such a complex system will save 10-15 percent of energy resources spent on operating the currently functioning equipment of the boiler house. To implement the project, the limited liability company "Energy Company Lutskteploenergo" is being created, which will include "Lutskteplo", the limited liability company "Energotrade" and the silk factory. The utility workers are contributing the boiler house to the charter fund, the silk factory – technological equipment, and "Energotrade" – 8.5 million hryvnias for the purchase of a gas turbine. This will be the first boiler house in the region with a generating capacity of 20 MW. This will allow the newly created company to become a member of the wholesale electricity market and profit from the sale of "surplus" kilowatts. If the boiler house reaches its designed capacity, this will also make it possible to fully provide electricity to the vitally important facilities of Lutsk – hospitals and utility enterprises), as well as to cover a third of all the needs of the regional center.
