In the Kherson region, DTEK began to restore the Trifoniv solar power plant, which already provides energy to the residents of the region.
Currently, the plant has 48 inverters out of 185 and is operating at 15% of its installed capacity of 10 MW, DTEK said on Telegram.
It is noted that the Trifonivska SPP was systematically bombarded with cluster shells. From March to October, i.e. 7 months, it was occupied by the Russian army. The station staff continued to perform their duties until June-July.
The transformer, a large number of inverters and about 20% of the photovoltaic panels were damaged at the SES.
Employees of the station said that the SES stopped working after the Russian military arrived. The workers tried to prevent the theft of the equipment, but the occupiers came to the station at night, broke down the gates, started removing inverters and ransacking.
In the message, they explained that they want to restore the operation of the SPP as soon as possible, because every kilowatt is important for Ukraine.
"We are grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the fact that the Ukrainian flag is flying again on the territory of SES", emphasized the press service of DTEK.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, General Director of DTEK Maksym Timchenko stated that the company "DTEK RES" is planning promptly repair the Trifonivska SPP in the liberated Kherson region to support the energy system of Ukraine.
