The new heating season in Kiev will differ from previous ones. As in the positive sense, and not very. Firstly, for those who do not have heat meters in an apartment or house, they will not pay the average meter count in the city, but according to a method that takes into account the temperature outside the window. Secondly, there are innovations for those who put counters, but forget to pass testimony. They will be encouraged to connect to the private office, and for the laziest participants of the OSMD they offer a personal cabinet service for several apartments. Thirdly, the energy sector told who can claim the reduction of payments and how to achieve this. Take for the old For 93% of the houses in the capital, the accruals go by apartment or house counters. As a rule, common metering devices are installed where it is technically impossible to put meters in apartments (with vertical distribution of heating pipes). In 2016, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine acted No. 865 of November 30, which for the period of the previous season for houses without meters was allowed to use the average heat consumption in a particular locality, based on the readings of meters in other houses. Ukraine met the new season without such a mechanism. Therefore, the calculations of the amounts for the consumed thermal energy will be made not by weighted average indications, but by the old method. That is, depending on the average daily temperature outside the window. "In this heating season, the norm does not yet work, which has proved itself well in the past year - the calculation of payment for heat according to the average meter readings, and not by methodology," said Pyotr Panteleev, deputy chairman of the Kyiv city state administration (KCSA). According to him, the relevant decision is being worked out in the Ministry of Regional Development, and as the KSCA hopes, this document will appear before the end of this year. Therefore, for those 7% of houses and apartments in the capital that do not have heat meters, the calculation will be made according to the methodology approved by the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1037 of October 30, 2015. According to Andrei Taliar, director of the Kievo energo supplying company's Kiev-based energy supply company, this method assumes that the calculated heat consumption multiplies the indicators of the heated area by the standard tariff (32.91 UAH / sq.. m) and the temperature coefficient, which depends on the actual and normative average daily temperature. According to Panteleev, while the weather is warmer than stipulated by the regulations. There are also no sharp temperature fluctuations, which, on the whole, makes it possible to obtain estimated amounts by a method close to actual consumption. However, there are nuances for those who already pay on the meter. On the meter and without In this heating season, people have not yet publicly stated about the facts when citizens of other countries who did not have an apartment meter paid for the heating of foreign premises,. A year ago, this problem was very urgent, as often commercial enterprises or neighbors made heated annexes, and "Kyivenergo" distributed the fee for the house in proportion to the registered areas. Andrei Taliar said that this is the result of the control and verification work in the inter-heating period. However, the energy sector does not rule out such situations in the future. As for those who "forget" to pass their testimony of the apartment meter, they will be charged according to the average indications that were in the past heating season. Once you start transmitting the testimony, the calculations will be corrected. Since the priority is given precisely to the readings of the counter. "If the recalculation after the transfer of testimony it turns out that according to the average planned consumption the tenant was counted more than he actually used (and this was fixed by the representative of the company), it may turn out that those who do not have a counter will then count more," - remarked Thaler. But it can also be the other way round: the tenant constantly understated the meter's readings and, upon recalculation, he will be charged additional charges, and all others will reduce the amounts to be paid. "This is the methodology of communicating vessels," the representative of Kyivenergo. If the testimony is not transferred for three months, the tenant starts counting the service as no longer according to the meter, but by the standards. As required by the new law on the commercial accounting of public services, which entered into force in August 2017. To stimulate the transfer of evidence, this procedure is attempted to simplify as much as possible. For example, AJOAH can transfer them through a personal cabinet, as well as ordinary citizens with individual counters. The representative of the association should contact the customer service center. There they are convinced of its competence to conclude contracts on behalf of the AJOAH and send it by e-mail a letter with the parameters of the entrance to the private office. Then you can immediately transfer data for several apartments. In general, the scheme for charging for heat at home is as follows: from the readings of a house-count meter, take the indications of individual, as well as estimated costs, which are considered according to a special procedure, for heating of common areas (they are evenly distributed among all tenants). The rest is scattered on those who do not have apartment counters. What to do to those who can not pay Given that on December 1, the people of Kiev and AJOAH (or ZhEKi) owed about 4 billion USD for heat and hot water, the KSCA recalled several legitimate ways to reduce payments. First, those who have not yet issued a subsidy, it is not too late to do so. Secondly, debt restructuring is applied. It is necessary to write an application to the energy company and sign a restructuring agreement. Thirdly, you can arrange installments by the formula 50/50, that is half the payment during the heating season, and the rest - to pay in the summer. "Only Kyivenergo customers can use the installments, and only citizens with direct contracts. If the contract for the purchase of heat is concluded by the housing cooperative or the condominium, that is, not directly with the tenant, installments are not made, "said Leonid Kunin, head of the heat energy department of the Kyiv Energy Supply Company Kyivneftenergo. Konstantin Pavlenko.
