Of the three sub-sectors of the energy industry in Romania, the metropolitan energy system is by far in the most deficient situation.
In countries with free economies, the central heating system proved to be a sustainable method, delivering a minimum cost for heavy populated cities. In the transition economies, the central heating system is widely spread but it requires serious upgrading in order to become competitive in terms of performances and costs.
