Preparations for construction of six capital gas pipelines in Serbia - about 35m EUR to be set aside from Republic budget

Thanks to the money from the National Investment Plan, the construction of about 60m EUR worth of eight projects in field of power supply should start in few months.

It is the construction of six distributive gas pipelines that would make it possible for consumers in central and west Serbia to start using cleaner and cheaper fuel. There are also two projects for increase in energy efficiency and use of solar energy, in scope of which the subventions will be given to the consumers for exchange of windows, installation of insulation and solar boilers, as well as investment in reduction of losses in heating plants in 50 cities and municipalities all around Serbia.

The single value of the construction of gas pipeline ranges between 2 and 14m EUR, with total of about 35m EUR. Approved means from the National Investment Plan are 60-70% of total value of the works, whereas "Srbija gas" and local self-managements should provide the rest.

These are the gas pipelines Kruševac-Vrnjačka Banja, Batočina-Cvetojevac, Požega-Arilje-Ivanjica, Beograd-Valjevo, Užice-Čajetina and Trstenik-Aleksandrovac.

About 5m EUR should be set aside for subventions for citizens for exchange of windows and insulation, as well as for installation of solar boilers.
