Russian attacks on combined heat and power plant in Kyiv have complicated situation; DTEK explains why power supply situation in capital has sharply deteriorated
Yesterday, the enemy launched devastating attacks on the energy infrastructure across the country, including in Kyiv. In the capital, the thermal power plant was once again targeted.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing DTEK's press office.
As noted, these attacks compounded the damage from previous shelling, so the situation in the power grid has become even more complicated.
"Utility workers are constantly repairing damaged equipment. Work continues nonstop whenever the security situation allows," the statement said.
"We understand that the schedules are very tight. Energy companies are doing everything they can to keep the system on schedule even in such a difficult situation and avoid resorting to emergency blackouts," DTEK added.
What led up to this?
- Earlier reports indicated that three UAVs had struck a critical infrastructure facility in Kyiv: four districts were partially without power, and water pressure dropped.
- Later, Zelenskyy reported that Russia struck thermal power plants in Kyiv and Shostka, as well as substations in the Dnipropetrovsk region: nearly 280,000 families were left without power.
