DTEK restored electricity to 25,000 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions over the course of a week

Active hostilities are ongoing in the Donetsk region. Shelling continues too, damaging grids and substations on a daily basis. Our specialists restore electricity supply once it becomes possible and the military provide permission for work performance. Last week, they managed to restore electricity to homes of almost 18,700 families in the frontline region. 

Dnipropetrovsk region constantly suffers from enemy shelling too, especially its south, where our specialists also managed to repair a number of grids damages and restore electricity to 6,700 families over the course of a week. 

“For 782 days now, energy workers have been holding the energy front and providing Ukrainians with electricity in the conditions of increased risks. Since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, we have already restored electricity to 11.9 mln* families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the city of Kyiv. Some settlements close to the area of hostilities had electricity restored to them on dozens of occasions,” – noted Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO at DTEK Grids.  

DTEK Grids energy workers are doing everything possible to eliminate damage as soon as possible. They commence work immediately after obtaining permission and access to the site of damage from the AFU and SES.
