About ten DTEK Dnipro Grids power facilities were attacked over the course of three days
The attacks caused damage to the equipment and started fires at some facilities. SES units were involved in eliminating the consequences. Fortunately, no company’s workers were harmed.
The situation in the energy system of the Dnipropetrovsk region remains difficult. Despite constant threat of new attacks and air alerts, DTEK Dnipro Grids crews continue to work to restore power supply to the residents of the region as quickly as possible. First of all, energy workers energize critical infrastructure facilities, and then - restore electricity to the households.
In accordance with NPC Ukrenergo order, stabilization power shutdowns are currently applied in the region, excluding Pavlohrad, part of Samar and Synelnykove districts, where emergency power shutdowns continue to be in force. Restoration activities will be ongoing until the specialists restore electricity to every home.
Meanwhile, we receive hundreds of emergency requests due to the grids overload. This is due to powerful electrical appliances being switched on simultaneously immediately after the electricity is restored – the weakened grids do not withstand. As of Sunday evening, there were 1,200 emergency requests registered throughout the region. DTEK Dnipro Grids crews are working round-the-clock. However, with such number of requests they physically lack time to check every address immediately.
Emergency crews go to the damaged facilities immediately after obtaining permission from the military and SES. Constant air alerts and the threat of new attacks make the work more difficult. Nevertheless, energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power supply to every home as quickly as possible.
