Heating usage up by 11 percent over past winter

Heating usage in Czech households increased by an average 11 percent year-on-year this winter, the spokesman for the Association for District Heating, Pavel Kaufman, confirmed. He told the Czech News Agency that would translate to around 630 crowns more per household for the 2015/2016 winter period. The past winter was comparatively colder than unusually mild winters in the Czech Republic in recent years; long term, this winter, however, was average in terms of the cold.
