From October 30 to November 5, DTEK energy workers have restored power to 157 settlements, bringing the electricity back to homes of 57,000 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, de-energized due to enemy shelling. Specialists of the DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators repair the grids, destroyed by the enemy, immediately after obtaining permission from the AFU and SES.

Donetsk region remains an area of active hostilities, therefore constant shelling here damages grids and substations on a daily basis. Our specialists restore electricity supply once the shelling subsides and the military provide a permit for work performance. Last week, we managed to restore electricity to homes of 52,700 families in the frontline region.

South of the Dnipropetrovsk region constantly suffers from regular shelling as well. DTEK Dnipro Grids energy workers restored electricity to almost 5,000 families over the course of the week.

“For 621 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 restored electricity to 9.3 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.
