"DTEK serves the Ukraine’s interests, takes care of its customers and does everything to ensure that their homes always have lights on and comfort."

As reported, the stormy wind that raged in the Donetsk region for several days, entailed a number of damages to the energy infrastructure of the region. Fallen trees and broken branches not only broke the wires, but also damaged several poles.
