Kyiv without autonomous power supply: where the billions from the city budget went.
Criticism of Kyiv's Energy Policy
According to Novyny.live: Kyiv still lacks an autonomous power supply system despite a large budget. People's Deputy Vadim Ivchenko criticizes the authorities for their funding priorities, particularly for new bridges instead of energy security. In wartime conditions, as Kyiv has been at war for the fourth year, the issue of energy stability becomes particularly relevant.
The capital's budget is the largest in Ukraine, yet, according to Ivchenko, the authorities have effectively neglected the need for proper provision of energy infrastructure. Instead, the focus is on other projects, including the construction of new bridges.
Ivchenko: 'In fact, the authorities have neglected this; they thought that the generation that exists is enough. And the generation is private, state... Let them defend it themselves, the private and the state.'
Moreover, there is information about possible 'kickbacks' that could reach 40% on city contracts. This raises additional questions about the effectiveness of budget funds usage and their impact on ensuring the energy security of the capital. Taking these factors into account, Kyiv continues to remain without a proper autonomous power supply system, which threatens the stability of electricity supply in the city.
Open Questions
Why does the light disappear in Kyiv and where did the community's money go — these questions remain open and require urgent resolution.
In light of the growing challenges related to the energy crisis, criticism of the authorities for insufficient funding of the energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly relevant. The absence of an autonomous power supply system in the capital can have serious consequences for residents, especially in wartime conditions when the stability of electricity supply is critically important. Budget expenditures and their effectiveness require thorough analysis to ensure an adequate level of energy security for the city.
