DTEK has already spent UAH 300 million on the first stage of restoration work. To fully restore the reliability of electricity supply, another UAH 600-700 million is needed, the company said.
During the occupation of the Kyiv region, Russian troops caused one billion hryvnias worth of damage to electrical networks alone. Vitaliy Shaida, General Director of DTEK Kyiv Regional Electric Grids, said this in an interview.
According to him, so far, only the first stage of work has been completed to restore the networks of the Kyiv region after the de-occupation, the purpose of which is to restore the energy supply to all consumers as soon as possible.
“Ahead of the work on restoring the reliability of electricity supply is the restoration of backup power circuits and the reconstruction of existing power circuits. Approximately such work will cost UAH 600-700 million . Energy companies need additional help from international partners to complete these tasks,” said Shayda, adding, that UAH 300 million from the program aimed at building networks was spent on the return of light to the residents of the Kyiv region.
“To continue to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply in the region, additional technical assistance and international investment are needed,” he said.
Recall that on the night of April 2, 2022, the Ministry of Defense announced that the Kiev region was completely liberated from the invaders. Regional authorities have begun restoring infrastructure so residents can return home. On May 19, DTEK announced the full restoration of electricity supply to consumers in the Kyiv region.
