Despite constant shelling, DTEK Donetsk Grids emergency and repair crews were able to restore power to residents of 80 settlements over the course of the week, thus restoring electricity to homes of 58,504 families. Up to 20 crews of energy workers are working every day to repair the grids after shelling.

For example, energy workers have restored electricity to 14,532 families in 22 settlements of the Donetsk region over the weekend. The majority of restorations on July 23-24 were in Bakhmut district: electricity was restored to 6,600 families in Bakhmut community and 1,500 families in Toretsk community. Energy workers, with permission of the military, were also able to work in Marinka, Kostiantynivka and Selydove communities.

Active hostilities are underway in the Donetsk region; shelling continues, as well as air assaults and missile strikes. Energy infrastructure of the region is constantly being damaged; energy enterprises are shutting down. Therefore, we ask residents of the region to treat power supply issues with understanding.

323 settlements in the Donetsk region remain without electricity. The most difficult situation is in the directions of Sloviansk, Avdiivka, Marinka, Toretsk and Bakhmut. Energy workers have to wait for the permit from the Armed Forces of Ukraine to perform repairs.

DTEK Donetsk Grids specialists are working non-stop for 152 days in a row and are repairing equipment and lines again and again, as soon as it becomes possible.
