Hospitals and schools in Transnistria can burn coal without emission limits until June 2027
Tiraspol authorities exempted hospitals, schools and kindergartens from emission limits for solid-fuel boilers until 1 June 2027.
What it means for you
For you, this means the air in schools and hospitals in the region may be more polluted this winter. The authorities have not said what will happen after 1 June 2027. The price of the boilers is kept secret, so their cost is not known.
What happened
On 21 October, the Tiraspol parliament, which is not internationally recognised, adopted an amendment exempting social institutions from emission limits. The measure covers boilers that burn coal and firewood and stays in force until 1 June 2027. The boilers are made by the Electromash plant in Tiraspol, which has no environmental permit for serial production.
In short
- School No. 2 in Camenca, attended by 650 children, is heated by a 200 kW coal boiler.
- Two boilers for hospitals in Bender are due to be installed by the end of November.
- Authorities plan to install at least 20 more solid-fuel boilers by spring 2027.
- The Gorynych boilers have no modern filters, and Electromash can make up to 10 a month.
