28/11/2019 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 28 November, the European Commission authorised the Croatian project to provide financial support for the modernisation of an "energy efficient " district heating system in the city of Zagreb, Croatia. The investment aid, amounting to €57 million, will support the modernisation of the hot water network through the replacement of deteriorated pipelines by the aid beneficiary (HEP District Heating). The project will also be partially financed by EU Structural Funds. The Commission has found that the measure will improve the existing district heating system. In addition, the measure will lead to significant energy savings and increased energy efficiency. In this respect, the measure should reduce total CO2 emissions by around 280,000 tons. (LC)
