As a result of Russian shelling, 77 populated areas in the Kherson Oblast and over 35,500 consumers remain without electricity.
The biggest problems are afflicting the two main substations in Berislav and Kherson districts. It will take at least EUR 6.4 million (UAH 270 million) to restore these energy facilities, which have been severely damaged by Russian shelling.
"The two main substations Posad-Pokrovska and Trifonivka have suffered the most severe losses. As a result, over 35,000 consumers have been deprived of power for nine months. We call on the international community, volunteers and Ukrainian businesses to help us restore the equipment," pleaded Khersonoblenergo in an open statement.
Located in the village of Trifonivka, Berislav district, Kherson Oblast, the Trifonivka Substation supplies 30 populated places in Berislav district including over 14,000 consumers.
47 settlements of Kherson district with 21,200 consumers are dependent on the Posad-Pokrovska Substation for their supply of electricity.
