#Winter Preparation

🏙️ Kyiv is preparing a large-scale "resilience" plan for the winter of 2026. 🔹 **Energy:** The city plans to create 1000 MW of additional thermal generation and launch 200 MW of cogeneration units. 🔹 **Social Protection:** The number of warming points has been doubled — to 100 facilities across the city (10 per district). 🔹 **Budget:** 22 billion UAH has been allocated for preparation. More than 1,000 buildings are already covered by co-financing programs for backup power. 🔹 **Reality:** Officials are calling for realism, considering the enemy's goal — strikes on civilian objects. #Kyiv #Winter2026 #Energy #KCSA

⚡️ Experts warn: Ukraine may be left without imported electricity this winter due to price caps. Vladimir Omelchenko (Razumkov Centre) explained that artificial price restrictions block purchases from Europe during peak demand. 📉 In January 2026, prices were temporarily raised, but in March they were returned to the old level. 🏗️ To prepare for winter, it is also necessary to unfreeze "Heat Communal Energy" accounts and strengthen the protection of substations. 🗓️ The Verkhovna Rada plans to abolish price caps only in May 2027, which raises concerns among analysts.

Kyiv returned 1.25 billion UAH allocated for backup heating to the budget due to bureaucratic delays. Experts warn: the city lost time preparing for winter, and the capital has become a laggard in implementing resilience plans. ❄️🏭

Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky warned of a 650 million euro deficit for the energy system before winter 🇺🇦⚡️. Ukraine plans not just to restore what has been destroyed, but to build new distributed generation. Zelenskyy will check the readiness of regions for the heating season.

⚡️ NKREKU wants to reintroduce fines for non-compliance with dispatcher commands — but experts warn: this could harm the energy sector and deter investors. 🇺🇦 #energy #Ukraine #winterpreparation

Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained the appointment of Igor Klimenko as Secretary of the NSDC by the need for systematic preparation for winter. The President called the winter period the main challenge for the country. Previously, Klimenko's candidacy for the post of Minister of Defense was discussed, but due to a lack of support in the Rada, the choice fell on the position in the NSDC. 🇺🇦❄️

The outgoing Cabinet of Yulia Svyrydenko approved the mechanism for using 40 billion UAH for winter preparation. A total of almost 80 billion UAH has already been spent on "Resilience Plans," but regions are preparing unevenly: from leaders in Dnipropetrovsk to outsiders in Lviv and Kyiv. ❄️🇺🇦
