#Generator

Ukrainian restaurants are spending 1.5–4 million hryvnias on generators and automation to survive blackouts lasting up to two days. Experts do not expect mass closures, but a 5–10% increase in the average check is inevitable.

ROZETKA has launched a promotion on energy-independence equipment: charging stations, generators, and batteries are available in installments of up to 12 payments with no down payment until September 30.

Alexander Kolesnichenko, an expert from GlobalBud Ukraine, advises tenants of country houses to run a 20–30-minute simulation of a power outage before paying the deposit. Checking the pumps, boiler, generator, and the warm circuit helps avoid a frozen home during the cold.

Before winter, tenants of self-sufficient homes need to lock into the contract who pays for the generator and consumables. RBC-Ukraine experts explain a fair formula for splitting costs and typical rental terms.
