The Government of Uzbekistan has approved a project for the long-term operation, maintenance and modernization of the centralized heating network of Tashkent under Public-Private Partnership conditions.
As the Public-Private Partnership Development Agency informed Kun.uz, the French company Veolia will be responsible for operating the heating system of the capital for 30 years. The cost of upgrading the system will be around €1.4 billion.

According to the modernization project, the overall efficiency of the heating system will increase by 50% in the medium term, and the coverage of consumers by 15%.
