DTEK continues repairs of the grids after shelling: energy workers restored electricity to 611,000 homes in March

The enemy continued intensified attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure in March. Lines and equipment suffered destruction due to missile or drone attacks. The energy system in the regions close to hostilities also suffered from enemy artillery shelling and air strikes.  

In particular, energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which is targeted by enemy attacks more and more often, managed to restore electricity to homes of 260,200 families of local residents, de-energized by the enemy. Odesa region suffered from enemy attacks too. In March, energy workers here restored power to 175,000 homes after enemy attacks.  

In March, specialists of the energy company were able to restore electricity to homes of 173,400 families in the Donetsk region, which still remains an arena of the hardest hostilities. Specialists of the energy company continue restoring grids in the frontline region on a daily basis, wherever it is possible – once the security situation and the military permit. 

During the same period of time, energy workers of the DTEK Grids DSO restored power to homes of 2,400 families of residents of the Kyiv region. 

“In March, the enemy continued attacking the energy infrastructure of the country. Despite constant danger, energy workers continued to repair damage and restore electricity wherever it was possible. Our task is to provide residents and critical infrastructure with electricity as much as it is possible in the conditions of constant shelling. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 17.6 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the capital,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, 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.
