DTEK power engineers' efforts highlighted in the Counteroffensive article

The Counteroffensive recently published an article showcasing the tireless work of DTEK's power engineers in Ukraine. The piece, titled "The Counteroffensive: The energy workers keeping Kyiv from darkness," sheds light on the challenges faced by energy sector workers amidst ongoing russian attacks on critical infrastructure.

The article features accounts from DTEK employees like Ihor, a senior machinist with 24 years of experience, who describes the devastation at thermal power plants:

"One day you come in and see everything destroyed, and realize that all your work is gone. It's Armageddon here. It shouldn't be like this. At that moment, all you feel is anger at the enemy."

Despite the dangers, DTEK's workers remain committed to their crucial role. Andrii, a senior specialist in the boiler and turbine department, recounts his immediate response to an attack:

"There was so much adrenaline, and fear, and my heart was pounding. I realized that it was still early and I had to go and save [his colleagues]."

The report also highlights the swift response of DTEK teams in Kyiv, where they restored power to hundreds of homes within hours following a missile strike on a transformer substation.

As Ukraine braces for what could be its most challenging winter since independence, DTEK's power engineers continue their vital work to keep the country's lights on.
