Workers at one of Ukraine's thermal power plants struggle to repair damage and keep electricity flowing as Russia continues its campaign of attacks targeting the country's power grid
Workers at one of Ukraine's thermal power plants struggle to repair damage and keep electricity flowing as Russia continues its campaign of attacks targeting the country's power gridA worker speaks by mobile phone inside operating room at DTEK's power plant after a recent Russian missile attack in Ukraine, Nov. 28, 2024.
DTEK operated around 20% of Ukraine’s electricity production before the full-scale invasion, but this figure dropped to 12% since the war broke out. The company says its facilities have been attacked by Russia almost 200 times since 2022. They also say nearly 90% of the company’s infrastructure was destroyed or suffered damage and that was before Russia launched its large-scale attack on Nov 17.
“Potentially, Western countries could also help us with equipment, but their power grids have different characteristics,” Oleksandr said. “You have to sit and wait while monitoring the trajectories of whatever was fired, but the power units keep working so we cannot just leave, we stay in the control room,” said Dmytro, 41, a power unit operator at the plant.
