The enemy continued to attack peaceful towns and villages last month. Despite all security challenges and difficulties of wartime, specialists of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators managed to completely or partially restore electricity to residents of more than 1,400 settlements, thus restoring power supply to more than 1.8 mln homes of Ukrainians*, de-energized due to the strikes in four regions and in the capital. Energy workers commence repairs of the grids as soon as possible once they obtain permission from the AFU and SES.

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

In particular, in February energy workers managed to restore electricity to 647,200 families in the Odesa region and 584,100 families in the Donetsk region.

Other regions suffered no less from enemy attacks: energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region managed to restore power to almost 346,300 homes of local residents in February.

The enemy does not stop attacking the capital and the Kyiv region. Despite all challenges, DSO specialists were able to restore electricity to almost 227,200 homes of the Kyiv region’s residents and 15,300 homes of the residents of the capital in February.

“Despite still constant enemy attacks on power facilities in February, our specialists continue to hold the energy front. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 39.1* 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 colossal, 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.
