Prolonged power outages in the Kyiv region — how many energy facilities did the occupiers damage in a week
Kyiv • UNN
Energy workers restored power to 203,000 households over four days. The mass switching-on of appliances after outages causes hundreds of new breakdowns every day.
In the past week alone, the Russians damaged 10 DTEK energy facilities in the Kyiv region, UNN reports, citing a statement by DTEK.
The company said that energy workers spent four days restoring power to more than 203,000 households. More than 200 crews work on restoration efforts every day.
It is not only local networks that have been damaged. Russia is also attacking Ukrenergo’s high-voltage networks, through which electricity reaches the region. Because of this, Ukrenergo has to implement emergency and stabilization outages
At the same time, the company noted that there is another problem: when the power returns, everyone tries to switch on boilers, heaters, and other appliances simultaneously. The networks become overloaded, causing new outages. There are currently hundreds of such cases every day.
