Abstract
Within the article, scientific material on the topic under study is generalized, the idea that at the present stage there is an urgent need to reform the heat supply industry, unsatisfactory financial state of enterprises should be corrected, and measures on energy efficiency and its financing have to be introduced is substantiated. A number of key features of the basic models of the centralized heating market in the European Union is submitted, among which are the following: a single buyer model and an open grid model. Basic legal, economic and organizational principles of the activity of heat supply facilities in Ukraine are studied. Mechanisms for directing funds to energy efficiency have been established, differing in the source of funds and the number of parties involved in the process of allocating funds by the creditor before using them. The main projects financed by IMF are as follows: “Energy Efficiency Fund” (in the draft of the Government);“Municipal Infrastructure Development of Ukraine” - EIB (Loan Unbound) (KfW);”Energy Efficiency” (NEFCO); “Ukrsimbank and IBRD Project, IQ Energy” (EBRD, ESP, other); Demo-Ukraine (NEFCO), Environmental Friendly Net Production (NEFCO) and EBRD loans; Government program “Warm” loans”; preferential lending from the Youth Building Fund; direct bank lending. It is proved that the current methodology for the development of heat supply schemes needs refinement in order to provide local self-government bodies with a full and effective tool for long-term planning of the district heating supply.
