Residents of Sectors 4 and 5 in Bucharest continue to experience heating challenges due to a malfunction at the CET Progresul plant. Although the Bucharest Municipal Thermal Energy Company, Termoenergetica, announced that the disruption had been resolved on the morning of December 1, 2024, the thermal supply remains insufficient for adequate heating and hot water provision.

The initial issue at the CET Progresul plant occurred on November 30, 2024, with efforts to fix it taking longer than expected. Despite the plant's partial restart on December 1, the thermal parameters achieved are reportedly still inadequate, as the system operates with only a single hot water boiler functioning at 65°C. This temperature is not high enough to ensure proper warm water and space heating for the affected sectors.
In response, Termoenergetica has provided several channels for residents to seek more information. Affected households can access recorded messages by calling 031.9442 or using the toll-free number 0800.820.002. Additionally, updates can be retrieved via the Termoalert application. The company has extended apologies for the ongoing inconvenience and expressed gratitude for residents' patience.
