Ministry of Energy: electricity supply schedules can be improved in part of Kyiv

In Kyiv, the most difficult area remains the area fed by the Darnytska TPP-4, the Ministry of Energy reports after the meeting of the Headquarters for the elimination of the consequences of emergency situations in Kyiv and the region.

The ministry notes that the restoration of heat supply in the Darnytsia and Dnipro districts is not expected in the near future, so energy experts are trying to ensure improved power supply schedules.

“Work on the installation and start-up of cogeneration gas plants continues strictly according to the schedule. Installations with a capacity of 9 MW and 18 MW are expected to be launched in the near future. Along with the launch, the provision of physical protection of these objects remains a critically important issue,” the message says.

Oleksiy Kuleba, the Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine and the Minister of Community and Territorial Development, also announced the coordination of work with energy companies to ensure the most stable electricity supply for houses without heat in the Darnytsia and Dnipro districts. According to him, currently 1,126 high-rise buildings remain without heating in Kyiv.

According to Kuleba, since the beginning of the heating season, Russia has attacked CHP-4 five times.

Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said that it will take at least two months to restore the Darnytsia CHP plant, which was heavily damaged by Russian strikes on February 3 and provided heat to houses in the Darnytsia and Dnipro districts of Kyiv.

This CHP provided heat supply, in particular, to a part of the houses in the Darnytskyi and Dnipro districts – in more than 1,100 high-rise buildings. In these houses, on the morning of February 3, the water in the heating systems was drained to avoid thawing.
