On October 16, 2026, the heating season officially began in Kyiv, despite the challenging conditions caused by shelling. The city's mayor, Vitaliy Klitschko, announced that the first facilities to receive heat would be social institutions, including medical facilities, schools, and kindergartens.
Procedure for connecting heating
According to the information from the city administration, in order to start the heat supply, the heads of institutions must submit individual applications. This will allow for a more efficient and rapid organization of the connection process.
Exceptions in heating connection
It is important to note that parts of the Dniprovskyi and Darniytskyi districts will remain without heating at the initial stage due to the ongoing restoration of a damaged energy facility. This facility suffered significant damage from recent attacks, making its restoration a priority.
