DTEK restored electricity to almost 117,000 families in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions over the course of a week

Donetsk region remains an arena of 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, we managed to restore electricity to homes of almost 90,000 families in the frontline region. 

The south of the Dnipropetrovsk region constantly suffers from regular shelling too. DTEK Dnipro Grids energy workers restored electricity to more than 27,000 families over the course of the week. 

“Energy workers are holding the energy front for 943 days now, providing electricity to Ukrainians in the conditions of increased risks. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, we have already restored electricity to 14.7 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.
