With the support of German partners, Lutsk received 4 high-efficiency gas boilers
In cooperation with the Kreis Lippe and with financial support from the Government of Germany through the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Lutsk community has implemented the project “Modernized heat energy infrastructure for stable and efficient municipal services in Lutsk, Ukraine.” Within the project, 4 high-efficiency condensing gas boilers were purchased.
“We received new boilers from our partners under a grant project worth 259 thousand euros,” said Ihor Polishchuk. “The boilers will be installed in boiler houses that provide heating and hot water to about 16,000 residents, 2 kindergartens, 2 schools, a medical facility, and a social institution. As a result, we will achieve significantly more stable heat and water supply, and savings of approximately 435,000 cubic meters of gas. There will also be savings because the boilers are automated and do not require a boiler operator. We are grateful to our partners — the District of Lippe and the Government of Germany — for their continuous support of our initiatives and projects at a time when critical infrastructure in the community and in Ukraine is receiving such attention.”
VIESSMANN condensing boilers with a capacity of 480 kW (2 units), 1600 kW, and 1950 kW, with an efficiency of 105%, will be installed in three boiler houses in the city. In one of them, outdated steam boilers with an efficiency of 68% will be replaced by two new ones. This will help save 45.5 thousand cubic meters of natural gas per year. In two other boiler houses, old summer boilers (used during the summer period for hot water supply) with an efficiency of 60% will be replaced.
In addition to economic benefits, replacing outdated equipment also has environmental significance. Due to improved combustion efficiency and reduced natural gas consumption, emissions of CO₂ and other harmful substances into the atmosphere will also decrease. Furthermore, the installation of new equipment will make it possible, in case of an emergency, to connect consumers from a neighboring boiler house whose networks are interconnected. The installation of the boilers is planned during the non-heating season of 2026.
