Modernization of District Heating (DH) Systems in Kirguli District

The project supports the modernization of district heating (DH) systems in the Kirguli district of Fergana city to improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of heat supply services. The intervention addresses aging infrastructure, high heat losses, and inefficient distribution networks affecting residential buildings and social infrastructure facilities served by Kirguli Issiqlik Ta’minoti LLC. The existing system currently supplies heat to 317 multi-apartment buildings through a 120 Gcal/hour boiler house and approximately 76 km of heating networks.

The assignment includes preparation of the Concept Note and comprehensive Project Assessment Documentation (PAD) in accordance with international financial institution (IFI) requirements. Key activities involve technical assessment of the existing DH infrastructure, hydraulic and thermal analysis of the network, identification of system bottlenecks and losses, and development of modernization scenarios and prioritized investment packages. The project also covers assessment of energy efficiency measures, environmental and social safeguards, financial and economic analysis, procurement planning, and institutional strengthening arrangements.

Through this assignment, the project aims to support the Government of Uzbekistan in developing a bankable, IFI-compliant investment program that improves the performance of district heating services in Fergana city while reducing energy losses and ensuring more reliable and sustainable heat supply for end users.
