DTEK brings back light: energy workers restored electricity to more than 243,000 homes in May

Last month, enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure continued. In particular, in May energy workers managed to restore electricity to homes of 166,700 families in the Donetsk region, where active hostilities are ongoing. Specialists of the energy company continue restoring grids in the frontline region on a daily basis – once the security situation and the military permit.

Over the same period of time, grids have also been damaged in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where electricity has been restored to 73,500 families over the course of the month. The enemy is regularly shelling Dnipropetrovsk region with the south of the region suffering the most.

Besides, in May energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators restored electricity to 2,200 families of residents of the Odesa region, whose homes were de-energized due to numerous enemy attacks.

The enemy also does not suspend its attempts to attack the Kyiv region, where energy workers had to restore electricity to over a thousand families over the past month.

“The enemy continued attacking the energy infrastructure of the country in May. Nevertheless, energy workers throughout the country joined efforts to keep providing residents with electricity. Our task is to provide residents and critical infrastructure with electricity as much as it is possible in the conditions of regular shelling. Over the course of almost two years of a full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 12.4 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the capital,” – noted Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO at DTEK Grids.

Company’s specialists 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.
