In May, DTEK energy workers have restored electricity to 384,000 families*, left without power supply due to shelling in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions. After every attack, specialists of the Distribution System Operators promptly leave for repairs of the grids once they obtain permission from the AFU and SES.

In May, the enemy tried to attack Ukrainian cities with greater force. His attacks did most of the damage to the regions that are close to the frontline. Over the course of May, specialists of the Distribution System Operators have restored operation of the grids for 361,000 families in Donetsk and almost 17,000 families in Dnipropetrovsk regions.

Additionally, due to a drone attack in the Odesa region energy workers had to restore power to more than 6,000 households.

“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 more than a year of a full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to more than 7 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Donetsk regions, and in the capital. Most of them have been left without electricity due to enemy attacks on dozens of occasions,” – noted DTEK Grids CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.

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.
