DTEK restored electricity to 38,500 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions over the course of a week

Donetsk region remains an area of the most active hostilities, where constant shelling damages grids and substations on a daily basis. Our specialists restore electricity supply once the shelling subsides and the military provide permission for work performance. Last week, they managed to restore electricity to homes of 31,700 families in the frontline region. 

Dnipropetrovsk region also constantly suffers from regular shelling, especially south of the region, where our specialists managed to repair a number of grids damages and restore electricity to 6,800 families over the course of a week. 

“For 734 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 war, we have already restored electricity to 11 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.
