Over the course of a week (October 31 through November 6), DTEK energy workers have restored electricity to 774,000 families, left without power due to shelling in the city of Kyiv and in Kyiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Despite shelling and difficult situation with hostilities, specialists of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators continue to restore the grids upon permission of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and SES. Our goal is to provide towns and villages with electricity, required from normal life of the region’s residents.

Over the past week (October 31 through November 6), specialists of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators have restored operation of grids, damaged due to hostilities, for 774,000 families in 843 settlements of Kyiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, and in the city of Kyiv.

For instance, terrorist attacks on October 31 have damaged energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kyiv region. Over the course of a day, DTEK Energy workers have restored power to 394,000 customers in Kyiv and 270,000 customers in the Kyiv region.

Besides, electricity has been restored to 72,000 families in the Donetsk region, where hostilities are consistently intense, and to almost 36,000 families in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

95 settlements in the Donetsk region remain without electricity. DTEK Donetsk Grids specialists will definitely restore electricity to homes of all residents of the region once they obtain a permit for work performance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Country’s energy infrastructure is now experiencing the most destruction in the history of independent Ukraine. In accordance with the order of NPC Ukrenergo, stabilization or emergency power cutoffs are being introduced in some regions of the country in order to stabilize the energy system and avoid large-scale emergencies.

They will last until state power company NPC Ukrenergo repairs all damaged components of the energy system. Information about cutoffs and resumption of electricity supply will be available via websites and social networks pages of DTEK Kyiv Grids, DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids, DTEK Dnipro Grids and DTEK Odesa Grids.
