Due to the attack on March 22, the Ukrainian energy company DTEK lost half of its electricity generation

Ukraine’s largest energy company, DTEK, lost 50% of its generation facilities due to the Russian attack on March 22nd.

This was stated by the director of the company YASNO, Sergei Kovalenko.

“If we talk about the DTEK group, then 50% of generation facilities are lost. How much time and money will be needed for recovery, we will find out in the coming days. I can say for sure that this process will take not a day, not a week, and not a month,” Kovalenko said.

According to him, Russian troops simultaneously shelled the energy infrastructure of several regions, using 60 drones and 90 missiles of various types.

“They hit both parts of the system at once: generating and distributing. Starting with the first, several types of generation were affected – about 20 substations and the DniproHES. Many hits were on transformers and network nodes distributing energy. Therefore, this attack can be considered comprehensive because it reduces the ability of our system to generate and transmit,” explained Kovalenko.
