Restoring electricity after the strikes: DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to more than 6.7 mln homes in October
In October, energy workers continuously worked to address the consequences of large-scale enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure. In particular, they had to introduce stabilization and emergency power shutdowns in order to preserve the energy system.
The majority of restorations took place in the capital, which the enemy does not stop attacking. Here, energy workers managed to restore electricity to more than 2 mln homes of local residents last month.
Other regions suffered no less from enemy attacks: DSO specialists in the Donetsk region were able to restore electricity to 1.47 mln families in October, despite all challenges. Energy workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region managed to restore power to 1.42 mln homes of the region’s residents last month.
In the Kyiv region, in its turn, electricity has been restored to almost a million households, de-energized due to enemy attacks. In the Odesa region – to 812,800.
“Despite the intensified enemy attacks on power facilities in October, our specialists continue to hold the energy front. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 64* 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.
