In an article published by Reuters on November 29, Tom Balmforth reports on the operations of DTEK thermal power plant during ongoing war. The article highlights the continuing efforts of energy workers to generate power under missile and drone attack conditions.
The report details workers who remain at the control room during missile strikes, operating the power grid manually. A shift leader with 30 years of experience, as quoted in the article, described the work environment:
"When there are attacks, we stay here even though we know there are missiles coming at us ... To say we're not afraid is not true because we are all living, normal people and we are afraid."
The article describes a power plant that has sustained damage from missile strikes, with holes visible in the walls of the machine room. Missile parts and damaged equipment are present throughout the facility.
"We've been set back six months," a senior worker noted.
