What remains unconfirmed

Media publications mention city mechanisms for apartment buildings: co-financing of energy efficiency projects, reimbursement for equipment already purchased, and loans from a city fund. We have not seen their current texts, so we give no percentages, limits or deadlines.

It is not even confirmed whether each of these mechanisms is active now, who exactly can apply, and whether a prior decision of the general meeting is needed.

What the OSBB board should do

OSBB in the capital most often already have purchased or ordered equipment, so the key question for the city is whether the program covers costs incurred before the application is submitted.

Before contacting the local authority

  • open the service page on the Kyiv Digital portal and save the date of review
  • clarify whether equipment purchased before the decision is counted
  • compare Kyiv terms with national ones so the same costs are not submitted twice
  • prepare an extract of the meeting minutes on the equipment purchase

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