EC investigates modernization of heating systems in Podkarpackie
20:24
The European Commission started an investigation to determine whether support plans for the modernization of five district heating systems in south-eastern Poland are in line with EU state aid rules. Poland earlier notified the Commission that it intends to provide public support for the modernization of the heating network in five municipalities - Tarnobrzeg, Ropczyce, Lesko, Dębica and Ustrzyki Dolne - in the Podkarpackie voivodship.
The Commission has doubts about whether the planned support complies with EU rules because it does not meet the criteria for an "efficient heating system" set out in the Energy Efficiency Directive.
