"The district heating development in the town of Pljevlja will follow after Pljevlja TPP ecorefurbishment, while during the refurbishment all the heating system connection-related preparatory works are to be completed. The main objective of this project is to supply the town of Pljevlja with heat energy via a modern centralized heat supply system from a central heat source that will close down households’ coal furnaces. It is assumed that this project will eliminate lignite as a fuel used for heating purposes in Pljevlja at the latest by 2030. The
phasing out of lignite used in Pljevlja municipality’s residential sector will result in a GHG emission reduction that follows the dynamics of the lignite decrease throughout the observed period."
