DTEK energy workers restored electricity to 77,000 families in the Dnipropetrovsk region after bad weather
On November 12, gusty wind in the Dnipropetrovsk region caused massive breaks of power lines due to the fallen trees. Tens of thousands of homes were left without electricity. The most affected by bad weather were Synelnykove, Pavlohrad, Nikopol and Novomoskovsk districts.
52 crews of DTEK Dnipro Grids were engaged in prompt elimination of emergencies. They worked round-the-clock to energize the grid as soon as possible. By the morning of November 13, energy workers managed to restore power to most of the customers, and by 21:00 – to restore electricity to all homes in the region.
Energy workers restored operation of 1,615 transformer substations and 119 power lines. Electricity has been restored to 77,000 families in 293 settlements of the Dnipropetrovsk region that were completely or partially de-energized.
