Three candidates have applied for licences to providing district heating to the Macedonian capital city of Skopje, Dnevnik daily reported. Bids were invited after Skopje-based heating utility Toplifikacija gave up its licence for producing, distributing and supplying heating energy, reportedly due to the lack of financing for this activity. As expected, one of the bidders is Macedonian company Balkan Energy Group, a subsidiary of Skopje-based TE-TO, which in turn is owned by Russias Sintez Group and Toplifikacija. The second participant comprises the countrys state-owned electricity utilities ELEM (generation) and MEPSO (transmission), which are bidding through three joint companies. Both candidates are applying for all three activities (production, distribution and supply). The third bidder is Heat Distribution, a Toplifikacija subsidiary, which is applying only for a distribution licence. The winning bidder will be known by the end of the year. |
