Russian forces damaged 10 DTEK energy facilities in the Kyiv region over the past week. Emergency and scheduled stabilization power outages remain in effect in the region due to attacks on local and high-voltage electricity networks.
This was reported by DTEK.
It took energy workers four days to restore electricity to more than 203,000 households. More than 200 crews are working on restoration efforts every day.
In addition to local power grids, Russian forces are targeting Ukrenergo’s high-voltage transmission networks, which supply electricity to the region. As a result, the company is forced to impose electricity supply restrictions.
“There is another problem. When electricity is restored, everyone tries to switch on their water heaters, space heaters and other appliances at the same time,” DTEK explained.
The resulting grid overloads cause further damage. Hundreds of such incidents are currently being recorded across the Kyiv region every day.
