Mayor Vitali Klitschko told TSN that Kyiv is stepping up preparations for the next heating season by increasing its own energy-generation capacity. According to the report, the city plans to bring cogeneration (combined heat and power) units into operation before the end of the year.

The announcement comes as part of municipal readiness measures for winter; the TSN story quotes Klitschko on the timetable but does not list exact locations or unit counts. Kyiv residents should monitor official Kyiv City Administration channels and TSN for follow-up details on which facilities will start, the expected schedule, and any temporary impacts on local heat or power services.
