In September, DTEK energy workers restored power to homes of more than 860,000 families*, affected by shelling in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions. After each air attack or artillery shelling, specialists of the Distribution System Operators promptly repair the grids once they obtain permission from the AFU and SES.

In September, enemy attacks frequently affected our country’s grids, leaving thousands of Ukrainians without electricity. Over the course of a month, energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators restored power to 539,000 families in the Donetsk region, where active hostilities are ongoing, and restored electricity to 293,000 families of the Dnipropetrovsk region in the districts close to the area of active hostilities and temporarily occupied territories.

In addition, attacks also caused damage to the grids in the Odesa region, where power supply has been restored to 29,000 families in September.

“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 2 years of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 14.7 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the capital. Most of them were left without electricity due to enemy attacks on dozens of occasions,” – 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.
