However, he warned that generators alone cannot provide
uninterrupted power around the clock because they require regular maintenance downtime.
Tkachov said specialists quickly connect alternative power sources after water
utility facilities lose power supply.
He also commented on a recent Financial Times report about
water supply disruptions affecting more than 12,000 apartment buildings in the
capital and problems with backup power for water infrastructure facilities.
Tkachov clarified that the figure refers to the total number of apartment
buildings in Kyiv.
In addition, powerful energy systems and other equipment are
being manufactured abroad specifically for Kyiv. More deliveries are expected
soon.
On Nov. 3, Kyiv temporarily lost its water supply
because of Russian attacks on the power grid. Water service was fully restored
in Kyiv on Nov. 4. Energy officials said Kyiv and the surrounding region
had returned to scheduled power outage plans after emergency outages.
