Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK Group, has begun supplying free electricity to medical institutions, military and law enforcement agencies, and bread producers in the capital, Kyiv, as well as the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions of the country.
DTEK also intends to provide free electricity to the country’s Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as other departments focussing on law enforcement, safety and security.
The offer is hoped to support the country’s efforts following several days of Russian bombing of military and government institutions.
The company has also started repair works in the southern city of Mariupol, despite the company stating that most of the transmission lines supplying the city have been destroyed, leaving approximately 150,000 consumers without electricity.
Approximately 350 neighbourhoods in Kyiv are apparently without power, with repair work suspended due to active hostilities.
Earlier this week, DTEK started a humanitarian mission to support the people affected by the hostilities.
