New heat consumption norms approved for Kyiv-Sviatoshynska heating network subscribers for the heating season

For the upcoming heating season, the Kyiv Regional Council approved updated calculated heat consumption norms for subscribers of the Kyiv-Sviatoshynska heating network. Despite the adoption of new rates, household consumers’ payment amounts will not change thanks to the state moratorium.

KV learned about this from Kyiv Regional Council decisions No. 1876-38-VIII and No. 1877-38-VIII dated 20 August 2026.

According to the documents, the tariff grid and indicators of technological losses were updated for the municipal enterprise “Kyiv-Sviatoshynska heating network” for the period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Although the residential tariff was approved at 4866,72 UAH/Gcal with VAT, residents will actually pay the prices that were in effect until 24 February 2022 because that provision will apply throughout the state of martial law and for six months after its cancellation. At the same time, the new rates will apply to budgetary institutions and commercial consumers, for whom the single-rate tariff will be 5090,68 hryvnias and 5540,76 hryvnias per Gcal respectively (without VAT).

In addition to tariffs, deputies also approved updated specific heat consumption norms that depend on the number of floors of a building and the presence of building-level meters.

“By the decision of 20 August, specific norms were established for the municipal enterprise ‘Kyiv-Sviatoshynska heating network’ for the period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. For residential buildings the overall specific norm is 0,086 Gcal per square meter per year. For buildings with meters – 0,081 Gcal/m², without meters – 0,175 Gcal/m². These indicators vary depending on the number of floors. For example, for five-story and taller buildings the overall indicator is 0,079 Gcal/m², while for one- and two-story buildings it is 0,171 Gcal/m²,” acting head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration Yaroslav Dobryansky told KV.

He also noted that the change in specific norms is not only related to the condition of the networks.

“This is a calculated indicator that depends on the characteristics of the housing stock, heated area, design temperatures, duration of the heating period, the presence of meters and other parameters,” Dobryansky emphasized.

According to him, to objectively assess an enterprise’s technological losses it is necessary to analyze practical infrastructure performance data, not only approved regulatory documents.

“To conclude specifically about an increase or decrease in the enterprise’s technological losses, one must separately analyze actual network performance indicators and compare them over several years. The decision on specific norms does not contain such a conclusion,” Dobryansky stressed.
