In May, DTEK electricians have restored electricity to more than 687,000 families, left without power due to shelling in Kyiv, Donetsk, Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

Active hostilities are underway in the Donetsk region in May. The shelling near Lyman, Avdiivka, Marinka, Toretsk, Bakhmut and Velyka Novosilka causes damage to the grids on a daily basis. Over the course of the past month, DTEK electricians have restored electricity to almost 653,000 residents of the region in 579 settlements. Some homes require restoration of electricity almost every day due to active shelling and constant damage of the grids.

In particular, shelling in the morning of May 29 has damaged NPC Ukrenergo’s trunk line that powers a large part of Kramatorsk and Bakhmut districts. DTEK Donetsk Grids energy workers have inspected the grid and helped NPC Ukrenergo’s specialists restore electricity to all of 337,000 families in the affected districts by the end of the day.

On May 18, DTEK energy workers have completed all activities related to restoration of the company’s grids in the Kyiv region. In just 45 days, instead of the announced 60, company’s specialists have repaired over 10,000 km of the grids and restored electricity to all 260,000 families in the region that suffered from hostilities.

Currently, DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids specialists continue to process specific customer requests and restore constant power circuits.

Enemy shelling is underway in the Dnipropetrovsk region in May. In particular, energy workers had to repair grids, damaged by enemy missiles in the Kryvyi Rih district, to restore service to almost 10,000 families.

Russian aggressors also damaged the grids in the Odessa region. In particular, energy workers have repaired electrical equipment and restored electricity to almost 25,000 residents in 40 settlements of the region in May.

Emergency crews of energy workers in Donetsk, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions are working non-stop for 95 days in a row to promptly restore power to settlements, left without electricity due to enemy shelling and hostilities.
