The heating season in Kyiv begins on Friday, October 3. First of all, heat will begin to be supplied to hospitals, kindergartens, schools, and other social institutions.
This was reported by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Telegram.
According to him, the connection will be made upon individual requests from heads of institutions. At the same time, starting from Friday, the social sphere will have the opportunity to connect to heating, taking into account the cooling. Many buildings are equipped with individual heating points, which allows for effective regulation of energy consumption.
“Regarding the start of the heating season in residential buildings. Before making such a decision, we must weigh all factors: the rational use of energy sources, the inexpediency of unnecessary heating costs by residents, as well as the situation in the energy system,” Klitschko emphasized.
He added that when making a decision on connecting the housing stock, not only current temperature indicators will be taken into account, but also the weather forecast for the coming days.
As a reminder, the heating season is starting in Ukraine due to the drop in temperature. In a number of regions, heat will start to be supplied this week – in particular, in the Rivne region, heating was turned on in hospitals, schools, and kindergartens from September 24 .
In addition, Volodymyr Omelchenko, Director of Energy and Infrastructure Programs at the Razumkov Center, reported that there is a serious threat of disruption of the heating season in certain regions in Ukraine due to massive Russian shelling of energy infrastructure.
