The overall objective of the project is to invest in the district heating infrastructure of Bacău in order to reduce GHG emissions and increase energy efficiency through the rehabilitation of primary transport networks. By achieving the general objective pursued, once the funded project is implemented, it directly contributes to the objectives of the Sustainable Development Programme. The specific objective of the project is in line with the specific objective of Priority 4 of the 2021-2027 SDP, namely the promotion of energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, respectively the increase by 17.96 km of pipelines (8.980 km route) of the length of the rehabilitated thermal transport network, with effect in: 1. Reduction of losses in rehabilitated heat transmission networks by 15 466.80 Gcal/year, from 20 260.65 Gcal/year before the investment (year 2021) to 4 793.84 Gcal/year after the investment (year 2024, first year of operation) 2
