Heating plants in some cities of Serbia, due to the increase in business costs and energy prices, have already increased heating prices by up to 30 percent from July or August, and some are planning to do so
The heating season officially starts on Tuesday, October 15 and will last until April 15. This season, heating plants in eight cities announced an increase in heating prices, in some cases up to 30 percent.
In Belgrade, heating prices will increase by 8,92 percent, which means that a 60-square-meter apartment will have a monthly heating cost increased by about 700 dinars.
On October 1, functional tests of the heating system began in public energy companies throughout Serbia, in order to eliminate possible malfunctions in heating plants, boiler rooms and hot water networks.
The heating plants should be ready for the delivery of thermal energy even before the indicated date if the average daily temperatures fall below 12 degrees Celsius.
Heating day and non-stop heating
According to information from Belgrade Power Stations, the heating day lasts from 6 a.m. to 22 p.m., and on Sundays and holidays from 7 a.m. to 22 p.m.
At low outside air temperatures, in order to protect energy facilities and equipment of the district heating system or to achieve the prescribed temperatures, the utility company is obliged to extend the heating day or to continuously supply tariff customers with thermal energy, while rationally managing energy.
The supply of thermal energy is not interrupted in the night between December 31 and January 1, between January 6 and 7 and between January 13 and 14, except in the case of extremely favorable outside air temperature which ensures maintenance of the prescribed temperatures.
If the outside air temperature measured at 18 p.m. is lower than 1 degree Celsius and the forecasted outside air temperature between 22 p.m. and 6 p.m. is lower than 0 degrees Celsius, heating continues continuously for 24 hours.
When the delivery of thermal energy is interrupted
The delivery of thermal energy is interrupted when the outside air temperature exceeds 15 degrees Celsius for more than two hours. Redelivery of heat energy starts when the outside air temperature is 12 degrees Celsius or lower.
Interruption of heat energy delivery cannot be shorter than four hours.
The delivery of thermal energy during the heating day is not carried out at all when the outside air temperature is more than 15 degrees Celsius and lasts longer than 10 hours and when between 6 and 9 the outside air temperature is higher than 12 degrees Celsius.
