District heating worked really well with coal/gas power plants because the waste heat was essentially free. But the infrastructure for heat transmission was costly and required constant maintenance. I did calculations for district/distributed heating costs professionally in mid 2000s, and back then they were about even. The engineering culture in the USSR was also quite poor, so it was easier to build one steam/heat plant rather than hundreds of individual water heaters. |
