Restoration work is ongoing at the Darnitsa Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHPP-4) in Kyiv to eliminate the consequences of Russia's missile strike on the energy facility. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from Euro-Reconstruction LLC, company specialists, rescue workers, and contracting organizations are simultaneously working at the station to repair the damage. The company emphasizes that the damage sustained by the facility is significant, but promises to make every effort to complete the work in the shortest possible time. Welding and installation operations are underway on-site to restore damaged communications and station equipment. ### Heating Season Started with Caveats The heating season in Kyiv began on October 16. According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, heating is being turned on throughout the city, except for parts of the Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, where the energy facility suffered significant damage. These two districts remain without central heating at the peak of the season's start, creating additional burdens on social infrastructure and residents' daily lives. Euro-Reconstruction states that it understands the importance of a timely start to the heating season for consumers and is focused on restoring heat supply as quickly as possible. ### Who Supplies the Capital's Left Bank Euro-Reconstruction LLC is a private energy company that operates and owns Darnitsa CHPP-4. The station provides thermal energy, heating, and hot water to residents and enterprises on the left bank of Kyiv, meaning any damage to the facility directly affects thousands of households. The speed at which normal heat supply is restored in the affected areas after repair work is completed depends entirely on the condition of this CHPP. ### Restructuring as a Restoration Tool Earlier, the Kyiv Commercial Court approved a preventive restructuring plan for Euro-Reconstruction LLC, which operates the Darnitsa CHPP. According to Liga, the station sustained critical damage as a result of a Russian strike on February 3, 2026, after which more than a thousand houses in Kyiv dependent on this CHPP were left without heating. The company notes that the court's decision will help streamline financial obligations to creditors, ensure predictable calculations, and direct necessary resources toward restoring the station and preparing for the 2026/2027 heating season. Preventive restructuring is a new procedure in Ukraine, active since January 1, 2025; its goal is to identify insolvency risks and prevent the debtor's bankruptcy. In early June, the court similarly approved the restructuring of the company's other station, the Cherkasy CHPP. ### Context: Systematic Strikes on Energy Infrastructure The situation around the Darnitsa CHPP fits into a broader context. According to The New York Times, Russia intends to disable Ukraine's energy infrastructure to create a large-scale humanitarian crisis, with Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa identified as the main targets for strikes. Against this background, restoration work at the Kyiv station and the issue of timely heating activation in the affected areas are becoming not only a technical but also a socially significant factor for the city. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [На Дарницкой ТЭЦ устраняют последствия обстрелов, отопления еще нет](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/darnitskiy-tets-usuvayut-naslidki-obstrilu-1792165567.html) - Primary source: restoration work at Darnitsa CHPP, lack of heating in Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, season start on October 16, statement by Euro-Reconstruction LLC, words of Mayor Klitschko, reference to NYT. - [Суд одобрил план реструктуризации Дарницкой ТЭЦ, разрушенной россиянами](https://biz.liga.net/energy/news/sud-odobril-plan-restrukturizatsii-darnitskoi-tets-razrushennoi-rossiyanami) - Approval of preventive restructuring of Euro-Reconstruction LLC, critical damage from the strike on February 3, 2026, over a thousand houses without heating, procedure since January 1, 2025, similar decision regarding Cherkasy CHPP. ## FAQ ### Why did part of Kyiv remain without heating at the start of the season?
