DTEK brings back light: power has been restored to 426,000 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions and in the city of Kyiv

In February, DTEK energy workers restored electricity to 426,000 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions and in the city of Kyiv. Last month, our specialists repaired the grids in 216 settlements, de-energized due to enemy shelling. Specialists of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators repair the grids, destroyed by the enemy, immediately after obtaining permission from the AFU and SES.

Shelling of the Dnipropetrovsk region has intensified last month. Especially its southern part. In February, energy workers restored power to homes of 226,000 families, left without electricity due to the damage of lines and power facilities by shelling. 

Active hostilities also do not subside in the Donetsk region, where power equipment and grids are being damaged on a daily basis. Our specialists restore power supply once it becomes possible. Over the course of the month, they managed to restore operation of grids for 189,000 families. 

Yet another enemy attack in early February caused de-energizations in Kyiv, too. After that, energy workers promptly restored electricity to homes of more than 10,000 Kyivans. 

“For over two years, our specialists have been working in the conditions of increased danger and repairing grids, destroyed by the enemy attacks. Since the beginning of a full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, energy workers have already restored electricity to more than 11 mln families. Our primary priority is to provide electricity to customers as soon as possible. Energy workers commence work immediately after obtaining permission and access to the site of damage from the AFU and SES,” – noted Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO at DTEK Grids

DTEK Grids energy workers are doing everything possible to eliminate damage as soon as possible. They commence work immediately after obtaining permission and access to the site of damage from the AFU and SES.
