Apartment buildings with established condominiums, housing and communal associations and private managing companies can get compensations of up to UAH 80 thousand for purchase of alternative energy sources, the head of the Kyiv council commission on housing and communal services and fuel and energy complex Alexander Brodsky said.
Brodsky said that the decision of the Kiev council “On some issues of preparation of the housing fund of Kiev for the passage of the winter period under martial law” came into force.
“This decision is aimed at supporting residential apartment buildings in Kiev, in which created condominiums, HCCs and for private management companies to purchase alternative (independent) energy sources (gasoline and diesel generators, uninterruptible power supplies, inverters, solar panels) to provide in-house systems, such as individual heating units, boiler rooms, duty lighting or recharge gadgets for co-owners,” Brodsky said on his Facebook page.
The deputy noted that a simple mechanism is provided: the house brings a bill of expenditure, an extract from the unified state register and submits an application to the chairman of the RGA.

Concerning houses that are still managed by former HMOs, in Brodsky’s words “each of the 10 management companies in districts has received 20 million UAH for the heating season, and by this decision we have achieved equality between houses of different management forms”.
