Veolia (Paris:VIE) is awarded a 30-year concession contract
for the operation, maintenance and management of the district
heating system of the city of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It is the first
contract awarded to the Group in the country. It is in line with
the strategy of Veolia, which intends, both in France and abroad,
to offer local communities its vast array of expertise and
solutions to support them in their sustainable development and
ecological transformation.
With more than 2.5 million inhabitants, Tashkent is the capital
of the Republic of Uzbekistan as well as its largest city. It owns
the biggest heating network, which supplies heat and hot water to
some 1.2 million inhabitants, i.e. nearly half of the city’s
population. The system comprises 1,926 km of pipes, of which 73%
are underground. Veolia will be responsible for its operation with
revenues of 13.4 billion euros over the contract’s 30 years.
This contract is the first of its kind in the country and relies
on a public-private partnership.
Over 30 years, Veolia will provide:
- operation and maintenance of the district
heating system and hot water facilities - assessment of the
district heating system and hot water facilities to identify what
investments are required - funding for the operating assets
programme - project management
Also, for two years, a pilot project for the modernisation of
the heating system in two areas of the capital will be implemented.
The completion of the pilot project will trigger the launch of an
ambitious modernisation program covering the entire city.
« This success in Tashkent is a first step for Veolia in
Uzbekistan. The management of district heating systems for
municipal clients is one of our axes of development in Central and
Eastern Europe. I am delighted that we are today providing this
service to a new capital in this strategic region,” said Antoine
Frérot, Veolia’s Chairman and CEO.
The Veolia Group's ambition is to be the benchmark company for
the ecological transition. With operations on every continent and
almost 179,000 employees, the Group designs and distributes useful,
concrete solutions for the management of water, waste, and energy,
which help bring about radical change. Through its three
complementary activities, Veolia is growing access to resources,
preserving the resources available, and renewing them. In 2020, the
Veolia Group provided 95 million people with drinking water and 62
million with sanitation; it generated almost 43 million megawatt
hours and recycled 47 million tons of waste. Veolia Environnement
