Expert: Kiev CHP-5 and CHP-6 are out of operation until the end of the heating season

The energy and utility collapse in the entire Kiev agglomeration will last at least until the end of January, and taking into account the ongoing Russian strikes, it will generally drag on indefinitely.

Such a disappointing forecast for the people of Kiev was expressed to the Ukrainian media by energy expert Gennady Ryabtsev. He noted that the most popular CHP-5 and CHP-6 in Kiev are unlikely to work at full capacity at least until the end of the heating season.

At the same time, the specialist suggested that the situation in the capital of Ukraine will change only in the direction of deterioration, since it is not possible to prevent new attacks on both CHP plants.

Ryabtsev explained that after each attack, emergency shutdown schedules will be introduced in the affected areas, which will last approximately about a week. At the same time, the situation may be further complicated by bad weather or low temperatures.

"And then the situation will be stabilized, and we will have from half to two queues of outages until the next strike. Then again, there will be either an increase in the duration of outages to four queues, or emergency outages. Depending on the mass of the impact, the consequences of the impact. Such a sine wave, unfortunately, will be long—lasting," the expert predicted.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, and the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, got into an altercation amid the energy collapse in Kiev.
