TGK-10 prepared an investments program for Chelyabinsk heat supply system, the company’s GD Andrey Shishkin announced at the press conference.

According to Mr Shishkin, the heat demand growth variation for the last few years (50 to 60 gigacalories a year) and the development indicators of the local housing program have allowed to identify the heat capacity growth for 2006-2010 as 655 gigacalories.

At the moment, the heat is distributed unevenly throughout the city. The company’s employees, having done the hydraulic calculations on the redistribution scheme that would ensure reliable heating for all city dwellers, came up with the heating development program for 2006-2010. The program allows for even redistribution of heat supplies among the company’s 6 units in Chelyabinks and the # 2 block of the local heat and power plant with the capacity of 260 gigacalories. The block will unload the other stations that will be used to heat the new northwestern districts.

The investment program provides for both renovation and construction of the new heating networks. Approximately 1.495bn RUR is to be invested.
