This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 747 dated June 10, 2026, establishes new risk assessment rules for enterprises operating in the heat supply sector. The document defines how the State Energy Supervision Authority (Dergenergohahlyad) is to evaluate the activities of such companies and the frequency of scheduled inspections. Effectively, the resolution separates the regulation of heat supply into a distinct regulatory act, bifurcating it from the electric power sector.
**Structure and Amendments:**
The resolution consists of a main section approving new criteria and annexes detailing the scoring and risk system. A key change is the amendment to Resolution No. 640 of 2020: the heat supply sector is now removed from the scope of the old general criteria, which previously regulated it in conjunction with the electric power industry. Henceforth, heat supply is subject to its own autonomous risk assessment system.
**Main Provisions:**
* **Scoring System:** The degree of risk (high, medium, or minor) is now determined by the sum of points accrued across four criteria: type of activity, history of violations over 5 years, occurrence of accidents, and the number of unscheduled inspections over 2 years.
* **Frequency of Inspections:** Depending on the degree of risk, inspections will be conducted with varying frequency: from once every two years (high risk) to once every five years (minor risk).
* **Incentivizing Compliance:** An important innovation is the provision for “encouragement”: if an economic entity categorized as medium or minor risk does not commit significant violations over a prolonged period (6 or 10 years, respectively), the interval between scheduled inspections is automatically increased by 1.5 times.
* **Objectivity of Assessment:** Entities receive the highest number of points (45) for the occurrence of accidents, making the technical condition of facilities the primary indicator for supervisory authorities.
This document is [****], as it directly regulates the procedure for state supervision (control) in the sphere of economic activity, which directly affects the frequency of inspections and the administrative burden on heat supply enterprises.
