About 20 percent of heat energy in Lutsk is lost as a result of transportation to the consumer. This figure was cited today by the director of the communal enterprise "Lutskteplo" Anatoliy Luchko.\nThe only method of reducing heat energy losses and, accordingly, lowering tariffs for heat supply services is the modernization of equipment and replacement of heating networks, believes Anatoliy Khomovych.\n"Today the engineering solution to the problem in Lutsk is at the level of the Stone Age," notes Anatoliy Luchko.\nHowever, to modernize Lutsk's heating network and replace boilers with new ones with higher efficiency in order to transition to European heat supply standards (losses of 2-3% of heat), the enterprise "Lutskteplo" needs to attract 16 million US dollars, of which 6 million dollars are for the replacement of heating networks.
