Cheap heating has run out in Narva: residents of the city on the border with Russia are terrified

Enefit has put the power unit of the Baltic power plant into repair and inexpensive heating has disappeared from the residents of Narva.

"The residents of Narva received the first heating bills, which horrified them. People complain about the general rise in the price of life, and now they have no idea how not to accumulate debts for utilities," writes ERR.

According to residents, the batteries are still barely warm, and the bills are already impressive.

"Emotions are going through the roof. I don't want to express myself on camera, but it's just awful. Seriously. That's how to live? I get the minimum wage. I need to pay my rent. In addition, children go to school — they need phones. And, of course, they need to be fed and clothed — you have to pay for everything. Excuse me, for what? I can't imagine how those who rent an apartment cope. Someone just won't be able to survive. I paid for the heating, there's nothing to eat. What to do?" — 40-year-old Tatiana told the publication.

The ERR noted that in the hostel, where the Narvitans lived for a long time at relatively low heat rates.

"But the increase in the cost of CO2 emission quotas (they are required by the buyer of coal and gas generation) left the heat producer no choice — Enefit cannot work at a loss, the 11th power unit of the Baltic power plant, which provides low tariffs, is currently under repair and will be launched no earlier than January," the publication continues.

The heat manufacturer promises a long-term solution only in three years. A tender has been announced for the construction of a bio-boiler room.
