DTEK Grids DSO restored electricity to more than 65,000 families in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions over the course of a week

The majority of restorations is in the Donetsk region, which remains an arena of very active fighting. Continuous shelling destroys grids and equipment. Despite the difficult security situation, last week energy workers were able to restore power to homes of 53,800 families in the Donetsk region, residents of which constantly suffer from the aftermath of enemy shelling. 

The south of the Dnipropetrovsk region also constantly suffers from shelling that damages grids and equipment. From March 4 to 10, energy workers have restored electricity to 9,900 residents of the Dnipropetrovsk region, whose homes were de-energized due to enemy attacks. 

The enemy does not stop trying to attack the Odesa region. Over the course of the week, energy workers promptly restored electricity after enemy attacks to 1,900 families, left without electricity after enemy strikes. 

“For 747 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 11.2 mln* families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the city of Kyiv. We restored electricity to some settlements close to the area of hostilities 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.
