In June, DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to 443,000 homes after shelling
In June, the enemy did not stop attacking our country, including launching the record number of missiles and drones, and continued to subject peaceful towns and villages to large-scale attacks. Despite constant security challenges, energy workers continued to work on grids and equipment repairs both in the frontline and in the more distant regions of company’s presence. In particular, energy workers in the Donetsk region managed to restore electricity to 268,500 homes of local residents last month. Donetsk region remains an arena of the hardest battles. And though restoring power supply here becomes increasingly difficult and dangerous, energy workers continue to work once the situation and the military permit.
Dnipropetrovsk region also constantly suffers from enemy shelling, especially the south of the region, which is close to the area of hostilities. In June, energy workers managed to restore electricity to homes of 165,500 families of local residents.
During the same period of time, energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators restored electricity to homes of nearly 4,000 residents of the city of Kyiv and 2,000 families of residents of the Kyiv region, who were also de-energized due to the attacks.
Odesa region suffered from enemy attacks too. In June, energy workers here restored power to 3,000 homes.
“Despite large-scale enemy attacks on Ukraine in June, energy workers continue to hold the energy front. Our task is to provide residents and critical infrastructure with electricity as much as it is possible in the conditions of regular attacks. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 19.5* 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.
