Termoalert: Live Outage Map of Bucharest's District Heating

Since November 2021 Bucharest's municipal heating company Termoenergetica has run Termoalert, a public app and web map showing the live state of the city's district-heating network: every outage colour-coded by stage, with affected streets, repair progress and estimated restoration dates, plus push alerts for saved addresses. The transparency layer sits on top of a system in deep trouble. The network — 924 km of primary and 2,763 km of secondary pipes, much of it more than 25 years old — lost 37.73% of the heat fed into it in 2024, about 1.75 million MWh worth roughly 400 million lei, according to the city's own energy balance; in spring 2026 around 3,500 of the roughly 9,000 connected apartment blocks had hot-water problems at once. The map does not fix the pipes; it tells residents which day theirs will run cold.
