DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to more than half a million homes in four regions over the course of the week
The majority – in the Donetsk region, where energy workers continue to repair grids and equipment, despite an extremely difficult situation. Here, they managed to carry out a number of repairs and restore electricity to 391,300* homes last week.
From May 18 to 24, specialists in the Dnipropetrovsk region were able to restore power to 86,200 homes. The enemy continues to attack Dnipropetrovsk region, thus regularly damaging grids and leaving residents of the region without electricity.
The enemy also does not stop targeting the energy system of the Odesa region, where energy workers managed to restore electricity to homes of 32,000 families of local residents last week.
Besides, during the same period, energy workers in the Kyiv region managed to restore power to more than 3,000 homes that were also de-energized due to enemy attacks.
“The enemy continues to attack our energy system. Despite large-scale destruction, security challenges and fatigue, we continue to work and restore electricity supply. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have already restored electricity to more than 44.9 mln* families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the city of Kyiv. We have restored electricity in some settlements close to the combat zone on dozens of occasions,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, CEO at DTEK Grids.
DTEK Grids DSO energy workers are doing everything possible to eliminate damage as soon as possible. They commence work immediately after obtaining permission and access to the site of damage from AFU and SES.
