Warsaw According to the applicable law, Warsaw as the municipality is responsi- ble for the supply of heat, electricity and gas fuel. However, most energy companies active in the area (including all large ones) are in private hands and independent of the city authorities. So, proper operation of energy sys- tems and conducting of energy planning in Warsaw depends on the good cooperation of the city with energy companies.
Because of that we have invited some representatives of the most impor- tant energy companies operating in Warsaw to participate as partners of the Urban Learning Local Working Group. A representative of the district heating company took part in a study visit to Copenhagen in November last year. In turn, a representative of the company producing heat and electricity in CHPs is to take part in a discussion panel at the conference in Berlin in early June 2017.
The Ministry of Energy is conducting consultation on the new law on elec- tric mobility. In this case, we are constantly in touch with the representa- tives of the electricity distribution operator, which is also our LWG partner.
In addition to that we are conducting consultations on the Assumptions for plan of supply with heat, electricity and gas fuels for the City Warsaw. The information in the data bank of Assumptions is verified on a regular basis. Due to frequent contacts with our local partners, consultations with major energy companies on the Assumptions are well ahead of schedule. This is very beneficial for speeding up the process of final adoption of the Assumptions by the City Council.
All these close contacts were significantly assisted by cooperation within the framework of Urban Learning.
