Restoring electricity after the strikes: DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to more than 1.5 mln homes in June

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 761,000 homes of local residents in June.

Other regions suffered no less from enemy attacks: energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region managed to restore power to almost 456,800 homes of the region’s residents last month. Energy workers in the capital, in their turn, restored electricity to 234,800 households, de-energized due to the enemy attacks.

The enemy does not stop attacking Odesa and Kyiv regions, too. Despite all challenges, DSO specialists here were able to restore electricity to 63,800 and 9,700 homes correspondingly in June.

“Despite still constant enemy attacks on power facilities in June, our specialists continue to hold the energy front. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 47* 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.
