DTEK energy workers restored power to 452,800 homes in October

In October, enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure continued. In particular, over the course of the month energy workers managed to restore electricity to homes of 219,000 families in the Donetsk region, which remains an area of the most active hostilities. Specialists of the energy company continue restoring grids in the frontline region on a daily basis – once the security situation and the military allow. 

Last month, the enemy intensified attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region, where the grids also suffered damage almost daily. In October, electricity has been restored to 214,400 families here. The south of the region, which is close to the area of hostilities, suffers the most. 

In addition, in October energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators restored electricity to 17,800 families of residents of Odesa region, whose homes were de-energized due to yet another enemy attacks. 

The enemy also does not stop attacking the Kyiv region, where energy workers had to restore electricity to 1,600 families last month. 

“The enemy continued attacking the energy infrastructure of the country in October. Nevertheless, energy workers throughout the country joined efforts to keep providing residents with electricity. Our task is to provide residents and critical infrastructure with electricity as much as it is possible in the conditions of regular shelling. Over the course of almost three years of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 15.1 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the capital,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, CEO at DTEK Grids.  

Company’s specialists 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.
