A map of energy independence launched in Ukraine: how to check a building's readiness for outages

An interactive “Map of Energy Independence” has been launched in Ukraine, where you can check whether an apartment building has backup power and which services are available during power outages.

As Dilo reports, this was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine.

"Map of Energy Independence" is a joint project of the Ministry of Restoration and the NGO LUN Misto with the participation of the National Condominium Platform (OSBB) and Ecoaction.

What the map shows

The service helps residents, renters, and homebuyers assess a building’s readiness for the heating season and emergency outages. In particular, the map allows you to check whether a building has generators, inverters, or solar panels, and whether heating, elevators, water supply, and internet continue to work during outages.

For safety reasons, the service shows only general information about backup power, without technical details. Condominium representatives and building managers can contact via a feedback form to update building data.

Which support programs are available

The map is linked to the government platform "yeOpora." When viewing information about a specific building, users can learn not only about measures already implemented to improve energy efficiency but also about available support programs.

These include the "SvitloDim" program, as well as grants and loans for energy modernization.

"Now a person viewing a building can not only assess current preparedness and measures already taken, but also immediately review support programs available to them for further modernization," said Deputy Minister for Digitalization Ihor Reva.

Partners plan to expand the map's functionality, engage building managers to verify information, and roll the service out to other large cities in Ukraine.

As a reminder, as of 22 July, under the government program "SvitloDim" more than 2442 apartment buildings have already been financed for over 610 million UAH. Funds are directed toward solutions that help buildings provide autonomous power during electricity supply problems.
