The proposed project would enable VDHC to compete more effectively in the heating market, supporting the development of heating supply at least cost while improving customer satisfaction. The project would also reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from the Vilnius District Heating System through a targeted effort to remove the existing barriers to energy conservation. This would be achieved by means of expanding the market penetration of the building-level substation (BLS) technology and demand-side measures to a larger number of households while ensuring the full degree of ownership and operation of the substations by the homeowners.
