KeepWarm was an EU-funded project whose objective was to accelerate cost-effective investments in the modernisation of District Heating Systems (DHS). It brought together eleven project partners from a variety of relevant sectors from seven countries across Central and Eastern Europe.

The aim of the initiative was to modernise DHS around the whole region and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving system operations and promoting a switch to less-polluting sources, like renewables. The project partners strived to ensure that best practices for environmental-friendlier heating and cooling will be taken up across Europe, replicating KeepWarm’s approach in other countries and regions, even beyond the end of the project.
