From February 9 to 15, energy workers of the DTEK Grids Distribution Systems Operators (DSO) were able to restore power to residents of 557 settlements, affected by enemy strikes, thus restoring electricity to homes of more than 814,000* families in Donetsk, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions and in the capital. Specialists of the DTEK Grids DSO repair the grids immediately after obtaining permission from the AFU and the SES.

The majority – in the Donetsk region, which remains an arena of heavy fighting. Despite an extremely difficult situation in the frontline region, energy workers managed to carry out a number of repairs and restore electricity to 298,700 homes.

Last week, energy workers in the Odesa region, which energy system the enemy does not stop targeting this winter, managed to restore electricity to homes of almost 292,000 families of local residents.

Over this period, energy workers restored electricity to more than 132,500 homes in the capital, which the enemy continues to constantly attack, despite all difficulties and destruction.

From February 9 to 15, specialists in the Dnipropetrovsk region, in their turn, were able to restore power to 87,300 homes. The enemy is constantly attacking Dnipropetrovsk region, thus regularly damaging grids and leaving residents of the region without electricity.

Besides, during the same period, energy workers in the Kyiv region managed to restore power to more than 4,200 homes that were also de-energized due to enemy attacks.

“The enemy attacks our country’s energy system almost non-stop. Despite everything – large-scale destruction of the energy system, security challenges and fatigue - we continue to work and restore electricity. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have already restored electricity to a total of over 39 mln* families in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions, and in the city of Kyiv. We have restored electricity in some settlements close to the area of hostilities on dozens of occasions,” – noted Alina Bondarenko, CEO at DTEK Grids.

DTEK Grids DSO 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.
