“Across Ukraine, workers continue the seemingly Sisyphean task of repairing power plants after each russian attack.
At the DTEK plant visited by NPR, shattered windows are patched up with tarp. Buildings are scorched, with holes caused by missile shrapnel. Crews are focused only on fixing the equipment the plant needs to operate.”
Joanna Kakissis brought the world into a DTEK power plant in a recent piece published on NPR, following the latest attack on Ukraine’s power system.
Speaking to the workers who fight each day to restore power to millions of people in Ukraine, the article highlights energy worker Lesia’s experience of an attack: "We hoped the missile would hit somewhere else. But it came right at our plant. We heard the explosions from the shelter."
The story highlights international support from allies, including air defence systems, loans and aid from US and EU lawmakers. In November, DTEK reported that the European Commission and US Government were to provide €107 million of energy aid to keep the lights on during war.
Quoted in the piece, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko sums it up: “No country in modern times has faced such an onslaught against its energy system. But with the help of our partners, we continue to stand strong against russia's energy terror."
