Three-Year Urban Heating "Warmth Project" Initiative Launched

During the heating season, localities must keep channels open for public concerns, promote services such as immediate handling of complaints and heating concierges, and establish a closed-loop mechanism for rapid responses and resolution.

In addition, during the heating season, localities must keep channels open for residents to express their concerns, promote service mechanisms such as "responding immediately to complaints" and "heating stewards," clarify service standards and work requirements, and establish a closed-loop management mechanism for rapid responses to residents' concerns and their efficient resolution.

Localities will regularly assess heating facilities and include heating networks, heating stations, and facilities that have been in operation for 20 years or pose significant risks in renovation plans.

Under the plan, localities will regularly inspect and assess heating facilities and equipment. Heating pipelines, heating substations, and related supporting facilities that have been in operation for at least 20 years or have serious risks and hidden hazards will be included in renovation plans. Optimization and renovation are also encouraged for heating substations serving more than 50,000 square meters within a single heating system. Given that much urban heating uses heat supplied by thermal power plants, the next step will be to promote the construction and commissioning of combined heat and power units, as well as their renovation and upgrading.

Six departments jointly issued a three-year urban heating action plan, calling for significant progress in renovating aging heating networks by the end of 2028.

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): Six departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission, recently jointly issued a three-year action plan for the urban heating "Warmth Project." It specifies that significant progress should be made in upgrading and renovating existing aging heating pipelines by the end of 2028.

The plan encourages the optimization and renovation of heating stations whose individual heating systems serve areas exceeding 50,000 square meters.

Under the plan, localities will regularly inspect and assess heating facilities and equipment. Heating pipelines, heating substations, and related supporting facilities that have been in operation for at least 20 years or have serious risks and hidden hazards will be included in renovation plans.
