The mayor reminded that due to a shortage of electricity caused by massive enemy shelling of critical infrastructure, Kharkiv had to end this heating season ahead of schedule. Almost immediately, he said, utilities began preparing for the next one.
We are currently developing an action plan to be followed in preparation for the heating season. This includes the installation of modular boiler houses and autonomous boiler houses that will serve neighborhoods. It is very important for us to differentiate the heat supply network, but it is not yet possible to completely abandon the centralized system. Therefore, we are working on certain things that will ensure the relative safety of this equipment
