Restoring electricity after the strikes: DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to almost 2 mln homes in May

Last month, energy workers continued to work on grids and equipment repairs both in the frontline and in the more distant regions.

The majority of restorations were registered in the Donetsk region, which remains the nexus of the most active hostilities. Here, energy workers managed to restore electricity to almost 1.3 mln homes of local residents in May.

Other regions suffered no less from enemy attacks: energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region managed to restore power to almost 607,000 homes of the region’s residents in May. Energy workers in the Odesa region, in their turn, restored electricity to 76,700 households, de-energized due to the enemy attacks.

The enemy does not stop attacking Kyiv region, too. Despite all challenges, DSO specialists were able to restore electricity to 22,100 homes of the Kyiv region’s residents in May.

“Despite still constant enemy attacks on power facilities in May, our specialists continue to hold the energy front. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 45.5* million families in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, as well as in the capital,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, CEO at DTEK Grids. – The number is huge and it keeps rising, as some facilities have already been repaired on dozens of occasions. Every field trip means working in the conditions of increased danger, after obtaining permission from the military and SES, knowing that the threat can recur at any moment. And we continue to fight for light in the homes of Ukrainians.”

Specialists of the DTEK Grids DSO 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.
