In Kyiv, 99% of apartment buildings managed by municipal management companies have been connected to centralized heating. Some buildings still lack heat due to local accidents on heating networks.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported this on November 13 reported.
According to him, municipal services continue to fix damage to heating networks in buildings where heating has not yet started. Meanwhile, buildings of condominium associations (OSMD) and housing construction cooperatives are connected upon individual applications.
In social institutions of the capital, heating is already operating in 96% of facilities. Heat is supplied to schools, kindergartens, hospitals and other institutions based on requests from their managers.
Connecting the housing stock to heating in Kyiv began on November 2. The system was started gradually due to the scale of the capital's heating network and the need for technical preparation of equipment.
As of November 9, according to city authorities, heating was supplied to almost 80% of residential buildings managed by municipal companies. Thus, in four days the share of connected buildings increased by almost 20 percentage points.
At the same time, the energy supply situation in Kyiv remains difficult. Klitschko noted that Russian attacks continue to damage power generation and transmission facilities across Ukraine.
Emergency power outages are regularly introduced in the capital by order of Ukrenergo. Energy workers work around the clock to restore electricity supply, and municipal services repair damaged city infrastructure facilities.
However, the 99% figure refers specifically to buildings served by municipal management companies and does not mean that heating has already appeared in all apartment buildings in Kyiv.
