“Vilniaus šilumos tinklai” is the largest central heating company in the Baltic States. The desire to be innovative, efficient, and competitive is inseparable from our daily operations. We constantly rethink our business models, technological solutions, and explore creativeways to utilize our capacities throughout the year.

One of the key challenges we face today is the efficient utilization of heat during the summer months. Due to seasonality, the demand for heating drops significantly, yet there remains untapped potential. Market conditions, such as the low price of biomass and the availability of waste heat from industrial processes and cooling units, present a unique opportunity: we have the capacity to act, but lack a clear direction for the best use of this excess heat.

Could the solution lie within our own sector, related industries, or even in entirely new and innovative applications outside the energy domain? Solving this challenge would help us reduce operational seasonality, improve efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable use of resources.

Our goal is to discover innovative solutions to effectively utilize excess heat during the summer season. These solutions can range from ideas within the energy sector to creative, cross-industry applications.

The energy sector is a field where technological advancement and innovation intersect with sustainability and purpose. The solutions implemented in the sector not only affect companies as economic entities but also have a significant impact on the overall goal of sustainability and a cleaner world.
