In the capital, 1,126 residential buildings remain without heat due to damage to energy infrastructure and the shutdown of the Darnytsia Thermal Power Plant.
In the Ukrainian capital, more than a thousand residential buildings are still without centralized heat, and about a hundred more have been damaged by failures in heating networks. Kateryna Pop, press secretary of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported the current situation, according to Ukrinform. PromPolitInform reports.
According to her, heat will not be restored until at least the end of the heating season in 1,126 residential buildings. All of them are connected to a thermal power plant, which is currently beyond immediate restoration. This primarily affects residential buildings in the Darnytsia and Dniprovskyi districts of the capital.
Separately, localized damage has been recorded in approximately 100 buildings. In these cases, the lack of heat was caused by failures in in-building systems and main heating networks, preventing coolant from reaching apartments. The situation was further complicated by the aftermath of Russian shelling, which caused significant damage to the city’s energy infrastructure. In particular, the Darnytsia Thermal Power Plant (TPP) has not yet resumed full operation, creating an electricity shortage in the capital.
A temporary technical solution has been introduced for consumers in the Darnytsia and Dniprovskyi districts who previously received heat from this power plant. Electricity supply to these homes will be limited only during peak hours—from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
In addition to the residential sector, heating problems have also affected educational institutions. Sixty-two schools remain without heat. Therefore, the city is implementing a so-called educational migration mechanism: some students, particularly those in elementary grades, are temporarily transferred to educational institutions in areas with adequate temperatures and a stable heat supply.
