This year, we traditionally turn off the illumination of buildings and signs in the main office and structural divisions in Dnipro and the region for 60 minutes. And we are not doing this to save electricity. This is how we draw people's attention to the need to respect nature and the world around us,” says Andrii Tereshchuk, General Director of DTEK Dnipro Grids.
