From January 30 to February 5, DTEK energy workers have restored electricity to 36,000 families in 41 settlements , left without power due to shelling in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

This would allow releasing the load from the grids and provide more power to Odesa residents. The unleashed power would be enough to provide electricity to households across Odesa and Odesa region every 2 hours at 8-hour intervals without the lights. On February 4, one of the main substations of NPC Ukrenergo broke down, leaving residents of Odesa and Odesa district without electricity.

The upcoming plans of DTEK Energy’s mechanical engineering workers include manufacturing of the new generation coal mining equipment that would allow maintaining the required coal production rates across Ukrainian mines.
