Mykolayiv CHPP said that emergency work is being carried out along Mariupolska Street in the section between Chkalova and Sevastopolska Streets.

According to the director of the CHPP, Dmytro Myroshnichenko, there was yet another power outage there, which the company's employees are eliminating, the Nikvesti correspondent reports.

As the press service of the CHP previously noted, the work should be completed by the evening of December 20. However, according to Dmytro Myroshnychenko, the term of the works is not clear due to the uncertainty of the nature of the damage.

«We eliminate the rush. We will excavate, determine the nature of the damage and the scope of work, only then can we announce the terms,» he commented.

Currently, subscribers are disconnected from heating in this part of the city.

As a reminder, the 2023-24 heating season in Mykolaiv began on November 14. As of the evening of November 18, the Mykolaiv thermal power plant company connected only half of the total number of consumers in Mykolaiv to heat. At the same time, in September, the CHPP reported that it was 92% ready for the start of the heating season.

As of the evening of November 20, dozens of apartment buildings remained without heating in Mykolaiv. In several districts of the city, repair works of heating networks continued. Then the first deputy of Mykolaiv city mayor Vitalii Lukov announced that they plan to connect all residential buildings of Mykolaiv to heat in a few days.

However, on the evening of November 21, there were still more than 400 apartment buildings in the city without heating.

The Mykolaiv thermal power plant said that delays in the supply of heat to multi-apartment buildings occurred due to large gusts on the main pipelines of the heating lines.

On November 30, the CHPP reported that due to emergency works in three more areas of the city, residents will be left without heating again for some time. However, the company immediately announced the good news — according to forecasters, the weather conditions in Mykolaiv are expected to improve.

In addition, the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration stated that, despite statements about readiness for the heating season, Mykolaiv CHPP did not fulfill its promises. In RMA, the enterprise is required to make personnel decisions.

Numerous gusts of CHPP networks are connected, in particular, with the fact that last heating season the enterprise used salty water from the estuary, which accelerates the corrosion of already outdated pipes. In contrast to this, purified water from wells was poured into «Mykolaivovoblteploenerho», as NikVesti wrote in the article «Winter is near: What will the heating season be like in Mykolaiv?». Thus, the start of both heating seasons began without disruptions and significant accidents in the houses served by the regional heat and power utility.
