MP Vesaite says that since Kaunas now has private builders of cogeneration plants and the prices of natural gas and oil have been declining recently, the Government should review its heating sector reform and pay more attention to alternative power production ways, in particular to wind power energy, rather than to biofuels and cogeneration plants.
The prime minister, meanwhile, said that by moving to biofuels and heating and power production in cogeneration plants, Lithuania is choosing the proven path of countries in Western Europe.
"I am convinced that we have chosen the right reform model for Vilnius and Kaunas heating sectors," the PM said and added that power produced in biofuel plants is 30-40% cheaper.
