The minister reported that despite difficult weather conditions, repair crews continue to work around the clock to restore heat and electricity supply in the capital. Work on deploying cogeneration units is proceeding strictly according to plan. We are currently identifying additional locations for equipment installation and have completed checking gas capacities at key nodes.
We continue to create conditions for increasing electricity imports by state-owned companies. Today, we have a government decision that will allow one of the state-owned companies to purchase an additional volume of imported electricity. This will free up part of domestic generation for people
In addition, according to him, a separate and fundamental issue is that people who were without heating should not receive bills for services they did not actually receive.
This is a clear instruction from the President of Ukraine, and there is a corresponding government decision. Local authorities and utility companies must resolve the issue of such charges
