Kyiv has restored two-thirds of its own generating capacities after missile attacks and continues this work using the most modern European technologies, said the deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), Petro Panteleev.

During a meeting organized by the Reforming the Centralized Heat Supply Sector in Ukraine project (ReWarm), Panteleev, quoted by the KCSA press service on Saturday, reported that deliveries of necessary powerful equipment from European colleagues are ongoing.

The official reminded that the capital's energy facilities had been subjected to more than ten attacks, resulting in more than half of the generating capacities being out of order.

The restoration and modernization projects have become part of the Energy Recovery: Path to Distributed Cogeneration concept.

"We plan to decentralize the system of electricity and heat production by building small and medium-capacity CHP plants. Additionally, the city is developing a cluster of object autonomy in conditions of potential power outages. Quality preparation for winter is impossible without this," Panteleev said.

According to him, all city hospitals are equipped with generators, as are more than a hundred boilers of the centralized heating system. 175 water wells can also be quickly connected to autonomous power sources. "We are now increasing the number of mobile boiler houses. As part of the Reforming the Centralized Heat Supply Sector in Ukraine project, solar panels are being installed in Kyiv's medical institutions," the deputy head of the KCSA reported.

Panteleev also reminded that Kyiv has about 11,000 multi-story buildings, a significant portion of which have engineering equipment dependent on electricity. "These include water supply and heating system pumps, elevators, and similar equipment. The city has developed and is implementing four programs as tools for building communities to establish backup power sources. These include a 70/30 co-financing program for energy efficiency measures, a repair co-financing program, a program to reimburse costs for alternative power purchases, and a program for providing preferential loans. To date, more than 1,000 building communities have participated in such programs and have completed energy efficiency measures," the city official said.
