  1. District Heating and Distributed Energy: Practical Experience Relevant to Northeast Asia Security William Chandler Laboratory Fellow Battelle Memorial Institute Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 1

  2. Outline • Technology of rehabilitation • Economics of upgrading • “Financial engineering” of projects • New solutions 2

  3. Why “District Energy” Matters • Matter of survival in cold climate • Large share of heating (70 % in Russia) • Financial burden on governments and individuals • Politically sensitive • Consumer cost • Stranded assets • Economic efficiency 3

  4. Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, China, Bulgaria Centers Created: • Functions • Policy reform • Technology transfer • Demonstration • Public information 4

  5. Improvements to CHP “Nothing needs reforming quite so much as other people’s bad habits.” -- Mark Twain Before After 5

  7. Results • $71M in improvements • Energy use cut by 1/3 • $120M Savings • Low cost, off-balance sheet financing 7

  8. Typical Problems of District Energy:Financial Burden on Governments Pensioners protest “monetization” of utilities and other benefits, St. Petersburg, 17 January 2005 (Photo: A. Maltsev, Sipa Press, via MSNBC) 8

  9. Russian Government Interest in Energy Management is Cost-Driven • Water and heat for public buildings cost $5 billion in federal subsidies, or 6 percent of budget • Savings of 30 percent could readily be obtained. • Subsidies to pensioners cost another 5 percent of GDP. • - The U.S. and Russian governments have an agreement to cooperate on “Federal Energy Management” 9

  10. Typical Problems of District Energy:Low Thermal Integrity of Buildings 10

  11. Typical Problems of District Energy:Low Thermal Integrity of Buildings • Shortage of funds to pay for heat services • Poor quality of heat supply • Lack of heat meters • Poor building insulation and maintenance • Lack of qualified personnel • Lack of financing to improve facilities’ energy efficiency 11

  12. Typical Problems of District EnergyAging Equipment, Poor Maintenance 12

  13. Major Problems of Heat Supply:Boilers • Lack of financing and low fuel stocks • Shortened heat supply season and lowered temperatures • Absence of fuel and heat metering • Shortage of qualified boiler personnel 13

  14. Major Problems of Heat Supply Networks:Pipeline Maintenance Wear, failures, leaks, broken insulation, inefficient pumps, old heat exchangers, poor controls, multiple owners, non-collection of heat bills, overcharging of customers.... Source: Center for Energy Efficiency, Moscow 14

  16. Heat Transportation Problemsin Russia • Heat losses range from 20 to 70% • Maintenance requires 50% of DH costs • Only 2% of pipes are replaced annually • High leakages ratio, lack and low quality of insulation; • Buildings are overheated or under-heated 16

  17. Chernobyl—Aerial View 17

  18. Closing Chernobyl by Saving Energy How did it work? • U.S. AID/DOE grants through PNNL and others to develop project • $30 million financing developed for buildings • Kyiv City Administration invested $5 million • World Bank invested $17 million in buildings and $100 million in DH system • Results: ~30% savings in buildings alone • $100 million financing developed for heat supply system 18

Overview of Privatization and Competition Privatization of natural monopolies requires special steps: • Determining competitive parts of the system, separating them, introducing competition. • Creating legal, institutional framework to regulate prices and return on investment. • Commercializing–introducing hard budget constraints for–all power sector enterprises. • Attracting investment through concessions or privatization.
