Primorsky Krai begins phased heating shutdown as spring arrives
Primorsky Krai's heating utility Primteploenergo has begun the scheduled shutdown of the heating season across the region, the press service of the Primorsky Krai government reported.
"Heat supply has been discontinued at 82 of the 597 boiler plants across four municipalities in Primorsky Krai," the statement reads.
The heating season has fully ended in Khasansky and Chernigovsky municipal districts—all 23 boiler plants in each district have ceased operations.
In Arsenyev Urban District, four boiler plants have been shut down, while five others remain operational, supplying heat to hospitals, kindergartens, and other social facilities until May 11.
In Nakhodka Urban District, heating has been partially suspended: 32 boiler plants have been taken offline, while six continue running to serve residential buildings.
According to Vyacheslav Babich, Director General of the state-owned enterprise Primteploenergo, the shutdown in Oktyabrsky Municipal District will be completed today—with heat retained only for social infrastructure, while residential buildings are disconnected. Tomorrow, boiler plants in Dalnerechensk and Artyom urban districts are also set to be deactivated.
Elsewhere in the region, disconnections will proceed as stable warm weather sets in: once the average daily temperature exceeds +8°C for five consecutive days, following orders from local authorities.
After the heating season concludes, Primteploenergo will begin hydraulic testing of heating networks and preparations for the next winter period.
A reminder: Vladivostok's heating season is scheduled to end on May 4, 2024, as announced by the city's Fuel and Energy Complex Administration.
