Veolia took over the management and operation of the entire central urban heating network in Jiamusi in 2007, with a 25-year concession agreement granted by the Jiamusi Municipality. During the first year of the contract, Veolia rebuilt 11.6 km of the old pipeline, and replaced about 106 regional substations.
Renovation of the network in Jiamusi has been ongoing since 2007. To date, more than 85% of the city’s total heating is provided by Combined Heat and Power (CHP).
