In Mykolaiv, all subscribers of Mykolaiv CHP are already warm, and the temperature will gradually increase in the networks.

The head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, Vitalii Kim, said this during the telethon.

He added that the specialists had completed all the necessary work at night and were gradually increasing the heat. The only thing left to do is to deflate the air in some parts of the heating system.

«As of 8:00 a.m., power engineers have supplied power to all subscribers. Currently, the temperature in the network is slightly lower than the standard temperature. This is due to a gradual increase in the grid temperature. In other words, I think we will reach the standard indicators in a day, if there are no force majeure situations,» informed the Head of the RMA.

As a reminder, the power generation of the Mykolaiv combined heat and power plant (CHP) was completely destroyed by the Russian Shahed on 16 February.
