Last month, DTEK energy workers have restored power to 303,000 families*, affected by shelling in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions. After each enemy attack, specialists of the Distribution System Operators promptly repair the grids once they obtain permission from the AFU and SES.

Enemy attacks regularly damage our country’s grids and leave thousands of Ukrainians without electricity. Over the course of November, energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators have restored electricity to 277,000 families in the Donetsk region, where active hostilities are ongoing, and to 24,000 families in the districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region that are close to the areas of active hostilities and temporarily occupied territories.

Besides, in November shelling damaged the grids in the Odesa region, where power has been restored to more than 2,000 families.

“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 more than 18 month of a full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 9.5 million families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the capital. Most of them have been left without electricity due to enemy attacks on dozens of occasions,” – noted Oleksandr Fomenko, 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.
