Prime Minister’s Office awaits district heating plan for Tinganes

The Prime Minister’s Office is waiting for the district heating company to say whether it plans to extend pipes to Tinganes, KVF reported.

The office has also asked whether the company believes the project could become reality in the coming years, for example within five years. The company’s director said it and its board would consider the inquiry before replying.

Once it receives the response, the prime minister will decide how to proceed, the office told the Finance Committee.

The committee has questioned why the 2023 budget allocated money to heat buildings on Tinganes with seawater, with the work due to be completed in 2024. The project has not been carried out. The proposed 2027 budget says the allocation can also be used for a green energy solution. The Prime Minister’s Office says it is now waiting for the district heating company.
