In February, repair teams from the municipal utility Kyivteploenergo (KTE) restored heating and hot water to hundreds of homes in the Ukrainian city of Kyiv while fixing nearly 600 faults in the heat supply network.
“Typically, heat supply restoration takes no more than 24 hours,” the company stated on its Telegram channel on Monday.
According to KTE, 38 emergency repair teams work daily across Kyiv, responding to pipeline failures around the clock. On average, these crews repair up to 30 faults per day.
“When a failure occurs, an emergency team is promptly dispatched to the site. Repair crews identify and contain leaks, replace damaged pipeline sections, and carry out drainage, welding, and other necessary repair work,” the company said.
The repair division operates with approximately 150 specialized vehicles, including emergency response trucks, excavators, cranes, and heavy-duty transport. KTE’s emergency vehicles are modern and fully equipped for autonomous repairs, ensuring swift and efficient service, according to the company.
Kyivteploenergo is one of Europe’s largest producers of thermal and electrical energy and the main provider of centralized heating and hot water services for residents and businesses in the capital. The company operates Ukraine’s two largest combined heat and power plants (CHPP-5 and CHPP-6), four heating stations (ST-1, ST-2, Bilychi, and Pozniaky), 42 district boiler houses, an extensive network of main and distribution pipelines stretching 2,700 km, and the Energy Incineration Plant.
