Odesa shows substations damaged by Russian attack

This was reported by DTEK Odesa Power Grid on its Facebook page, according to Ukrinform.

"The consequences of the attack are enormous. Our crews cleared the debris, inspected the equipment that could still be put back into operation, ordered the missing spare parts, took some from our reserves, and transported some equipment from other substations," the company said.

DTEK added that it had also agreed on humanitarian aid from fellow energy companies and the Ministry of Energy.

Over the past three days, energy workers have managed to restore power to customers partially. However, DTEK reports that it is not technically possible to turn on the electricity in all houses simultaneously.

“To restore power, we are creating temporary repair schemes, including laying additional cable and overhead lines, installing couplings, and working on distribution devices. Unfortunately, there are no ready-made solutions, and not all ideas can be implemented on the first try,” the energy workers explained.

DTEK also reminded that stabilization power outages are not being implemented in the Odesa region. However, network restrictions are possible in the Odesa district of the region, particularly in Odesa. These are forced emergency power cuts in the event of a sharp increase in electricity consumption to prevent overloading of equipment damaged by enemy attacks.

As reported by Ukrinform, it will take 1-2 years to fully restore the damaged substations in the Odesa region.
