General description:
|
Saldus, a middle size town in western part of Latvia, has several boiler plants and district
heating networks. In one of the smaller networks new pre-insulated pipes have been installed, as a
first step in connecting all net to one common network. In the school a new substation, new
insulation in the attic and new smaller better insulated windows have been installed.

Cost (to the extent possible):
The cost analysis is based on a model developed within the framework of an expert group set up by the
Nordic Council of Ministers and presented in the report TemaNord:564. The calculations include:
1. How would the CO2 emissions have developed without the investment from the investor country,
i.e. determination of a reference alternative.
2. The investment cost of the project.
3. Differences in operation costs before and after the investment.
4. Changes in other economic conditions, e-g- reduction of other environmentally damaging emissions.
5. The time before the project would have been implemented anyhow, or the economic lifetime of the project
if it is reasonable to expect that the project alternatively would not have been implemented within the
period in question.
The more detailed calculations are found in the table enclosed as the last page to this project report.

5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
|
Describe the procedures, including name of organisations involveda):
|
|
It is from the Swedish side intended that upon agreement with a central Latvian authority on
reporting of JI-projects, this authority will assign a local organisation, which will be involved
in the evaluation of the climate effects of this project. After an initial work in cooperation with
SNEA’s assigned consultant, this local organisation would take the main responsibility the
continued measuring for JI-reporting.
|
a) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organizations mentioned is reported under
section A.2 above.
B. Governmental acceptance, approval or endorsement
Bearing in mind that all activities implemented jointly under this pilot phase require prior acceptance,
approval or endorsement by the Governments of the Parties participating in these activities, which shall be
shown as follows:
(a) In the case of joint reporting, the report is submitted by the designated national authority of one
participating Party with the concurrence of all other participating Parties as evidenced by attached
letters issued by the relevant national authorities;
(b) In the case of separate reporting, the reports are submitted separately by the designated national
authority of each and every participating Party. Information will only be compiled once reports have been
received from all participating Parties.
1) For the activity:
First report.
2) This report is a joint report:
3) General short comment by the government(s) if applicable:
cf. Annex II, section B
C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socio economic and
environment priorities and strategies
|
Describe (to the extent possible) how the activity is compatible with and supportive of national
economic development and socio economic and environment priorities and strategies
|
|
The following objectives in the Latvian Energy Law:
- efficient use of energy resources;
- creation and usage of energy efficient technologies, fuel/energy consuming and diagnostic
equipment, construction and insulation materials; energy flow metering and control devices,
automated energy consumption control systems;
|
D. Benefits derived from the activities implemented jointly project
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description
should be given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s).
(If the amount of quantative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)

Describe environmental benefits in detail:
|
Annual emission reductions compared with the baseline scenario:
150 ton CO2
2.4 ton SO2
0.3 ton NOx
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?
|
No.
|
|
Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:
|
Improved working conditions, increased motivation.
Better indoor climate in the buildings.
Improved supply of domestic hot water to inhabitants.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?
|
No.
|
|
Describe economic benefits in detail:
|
Decreased energy losses.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?
|
No.
|
E. Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real,
measurable and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not
have occurred in the absence of such activities
1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Without the activity the heat losses would have continued to be at the former level. It is not probable
that the level of the losses would be lower during the years to come. The heat production is based on
mazout.
Emissions are calculated from the elementary analysis of the assumed fuel, in this case mazout.
-
Estimated emissions with the activity:
The calculated energy saving from the measures is 545 MWh of heat. The total CO2 reduction during the life
time of the investment is 1,980 ton.
Emissions are calculated from the ultimate analysis of the assumed fuel in this case mazout.

|
Transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how
|
Describe briefly
|
|
Schematically, the transfer of knowledge involves the following activities over time:
i) Technology transfer through NUTEKs technical specialist during the implementation of the
project.
ii) Technology transfer through cooperation between foreign supplier and local partner
iii) Conferences, seminars, documentation and training.
iv) Stimulate "net-working" for the exchange of experience between plant owners with
similar problems, e g "bio-clubs"
|
Technology transfer has taken place through
i) NUTEK’s technical specialist support to the local project leader and municipality.
iii) personal from boiler plant has been invited to different seminars and work-shops. They have
also arranged seminars in energy efficiency.

Saldus has also received a Danish softloan. This loan has been used for installing pre-insulatyed pipelines
and building substation. The two loan, the Danish soft loan and the loan from STEM have complemented each
other very well.
