Quote from Kudrytskyi: “Work to restore power to consumers in Kryvyi Rih and the adjacent areas is ongoing; today (4 February – ed.) I visited all the damaged facilities. As of now, the repair crews have fulfilled their main task – to supply power to critical infrastructure and household consumers as soon as possible – and we are very grateful to them, as well as to our colleagues from the distribution networks and the local power plant.”
Details: He added that work to restore the power supply continues around the clock.
Electrical engineers continue to restore high-voltage equipment, test the function of the surviving equipment, and select replacements for the destroyed equipment from the emergency stockpile which, according to Kudrytskyi, was built up throughout 2023.
“In the coming days, we will definitely be here again; we have specific plans to increase the reliability of the electricity supply,” concluded the CEO of Ukrenergo.
