The heating season is ending in Ukraine and preparations for the next one are beginning. This was announced by Vice Prime Minister for Restoration - Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba on Saturday in Telegram, writes UNN.
Ukraine is completing the heating season and starting preparations for the next one. (...) This winter period was difficult. Constant attacks on the energy system, emergency situations, complex weather dynamics. But we managed to ensure stable heat supply in most regions. On average, 95.4% of residential buildings, almost 100% of educational and medical institutions received heat. This is the result of clear coordination between the government, communal services, local authorities and energy companies.
In particular, as Kuleba noted, 148 cogeneration units with an additional capacity of 110.9 MW and 84 modular boiler houses with a total capacity of 156.9 MW were put into operation in the regions this winter.
In addition, according to him, it is planned to install more than 330 cogeneration units and 200 modular boiler houses this year.

"In parallel, in all regions: a database of objects that need repair is being formed; stocks of gas, coal and equipment are being accumulated; negotiations are underway with international partners regarding technical assistance," Kuleba said.
