Preparation for winter: DTEK modernized five power facilities for the most energy-deficient districts in the Kyiv region

Before the start of the heating season, DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids has completed the modernization of five power facilities in the most energy-deficient districts of the region: Obukhiv, Bucha, and Brovary. Equipment upgrades will help energy workers improve the residents' power supply reliability and several socially essential facilities. Despite the war in the country, DTEK continues to invest funds in developing the Kyiv region's electrical infrastructure and preparing the area for winter.
 
DTEK energy workers have replaced electrical equipment at five power facilities in the Kyiv region with modern and more powerful ones. They have constructed new lines and upgraded power transformers that exceeded their service life and were morally and physically obsolete or destroyed due to hostilities. Besides, they have replaced old oil circuit breakers with more environmentally – vacuum ones, installed surge arrestors, reconstructed relay protection systems, etc. 

"Despite the war, DTEK Grids continues to create an infrastructure for rebuilding Ukraine and recovering the economy. These works are directed at improving the reliability of energy infrastructure before winter. Thanks to the construction of new lines and modernized substations, we have reduced emergency risks and improved reliability of the 110 and 10 kV grids that power all of the Kyiv region and, particularly, energy-deficient Obukhiv, Bucha, and Brovary districts," – pointed out Vitalii Shaida, CEO at DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids. 

In the Obukhiv energy joint, which is the most energy-deficient, energy workers have constructed and reconstructed four medium- and high-voltage lines. This improved the power supply for more than 11,500 residential buildings and establishments in this region before winter. 
 
In Bucha and Brovary districts, energy workers reconstructed two high-voltage substations that required modernization due to the growing demand for new electrical capabilities. Besides, these power facilities were damaged due to hostilities in the Kyiv region and needed restoration. Reconstructed substations with advanced equipment will ensure reliable power supply to homes and critical infrastructure in the Brovary and Bucha districts of the region. 

Modernization of power facilities was carried out with the company's investment program funds. The overall scope of investments in upgrades was almost 295 million hryvnas. 

Let us remind you that DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids has prepared the grids in the Kyiv region for winter  to reduce the probability of emergencies on the grids and make the heating season easier. In wartime conditions, energy workers have upgraded almost 300 power facilities and 4,000 km of power lines.
