The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted a new law that requires the installation of individual heat points (ITP) in apartment buildings connected to centralized heating. This innovation aims to increase energy efficiency and to give residents the right to regulate the supply of heat and hot water independently.<\/p>\n
People’s Deputy Serhiy Kozyr noted during the “Evening.LIVE” program that ITPs allow buildings to adapt to changing weather conditions, ensure accurate accounting of coolant use, and reduce heat losses in systems. According to him, this law is an integral part of the global energy and heat supply reform, as the current centralized system is outdated and inefficient.<\/p>\n
The deputy gave an example of problems with heat supply in the Kherson region, where even with working thermal power plants, residents often experience difficulties. The main reason for these problems is the deterioration of infrastructure and inadequate sealing of main networks, leading to significant heat losses.<\/p>\n
The law also provides for the integration of ITP into a single system that will allow for maneuvering heat supply and reduce the negative consequences of accidents or attacks on critical infrastructure. Kozyr emphasized that such a system will help prevent situations like those in Kyiv, where thousands of people were left without heating due to problems with the centralized heating system.<\/p>\n
The introduction of ITP will make the heat supply system more flexible, reduce reliance on large generating capacities, and enable faster responses to energy-sector crises. The law is aimed at improving the quality of public utilities and the more efficient use of resources in apartment buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
