DTEK Donetsk Grids to restore service to 45 settlements that lost power after severe weather

“DTEK strives to become the standard of customer focus. We put efforts every day to make the power supply more reliable, and the service convenient and customer-oriented,'' says Oleksii Degtyarev, Head of DTEK Donetsk Grids. “Our emergency teams and dispatchers work 24/7. We do emergency recovery work around the clock, involving 96 repair teams and 75 pieces of equipment. Over the weekend, we returned power to nearly 18,000 households." The northern and central parts of the region - Kramatorsky, Bakhmutsky and Pokrovsky Districts – witnessed the most outages. It was quite challenging to do the emergency recovery work because of thunderstorms, and strong winds. DTEK Donetsk Grids crews are still on full alert to prevent outages related to bad weather, repair failures and provide customers with a reliable power supply.
