DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity after the attacks to almost 1.5 mln homes in April
Last month, energy workers continued to work on grids and equipment repairs both in the frontline and in the more distant regions of the company’s presence.
Energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region managed to restore power to almost 609,500 homes of local residents in April.
Other regions suffered no less from enemy attacks. In particular, energy workers restored power to 476,000 families in the Donetsk region, where heavy fighting continues and an extremely difficult situation remains. In April, electricity was also restored to 383,900 families in the Odesa region.
The enemy does not stop attacking the Kyiv region, where specialists were able to restore electricity to 3,600 homes of local residents last month.
“The enemy continues to attack power facilities; we continue to restore them once it becomes possible. Despite fatigue, danger and large-scale destruction of the energy system. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 43.7* million families in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, as well as in the capital,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, CEO at DTEK Grids. – The number is colossal, as some facilities have already been repaired on dozens of occasions. Every field trip means working in the conditions of increased danger, after obtaining permission from the military and SES, knowing that the threat can recur at any moment. And we continue to fight for light in the homes of Ukrainians.”
Specialists of the DTEK Grids DSO continue to work together with AFU and SES in the regions of fiercest hostilities and restore operation of the grids immediately after obtaining permission from them.
