The media wrote about compensation of generator costs for Kharkiv OSBB, but we have not seen the text of the decision. So the “OSBB backup power Kharkiv” page remains an informational note.

What remains unconfirmed

We know only from secondary sources that the city council decision was adopted in the summer of 2024 and concerned generators. Whether the program is active now, to what extent and until what date, we do not know.

It is unknown whether the condition extends to other types of equipment, for example inverters with batteries, since the decision spoke specifically about generators.

What the OSBB board should do

In Kharkiv, backup power is closely tied to long outages, so it matters for the board to know whether the program is aimed at generators or can also cover battery systems.

Before contacting the local authority

  • find the original council decision on the city website and copy its title, number and date
  • find out whether applications are accepted now or the program is exhausted
  • clarify whether invoices for the equipment must already be paid by the board
  • compare with national compensation so the same costs are not claimed twice

Kharkiv: for the national level see SvitloDIM, loan and compensation, city programs; look for city fundraisers in the directory.
