OREANDA-NEWS. As part of social partnership, DTEK and Samarskyi District Council have implemented a set of measures aimed at improving the living conditions of over 15 thousand people in the Prydniprovskyi and Chapli residential areas. DTEK allocated 300 thousand hryvnias for this project in February.

 DTEK's financing was used to retrofit the street lighting networks in Elektrychna, Kosmonavtiv and Vozniuka streets. Communal enterprise Misksvitlo replaced 74 old lamps with new and better ones and laid over a thousand meters of cable. Thanks to DTEK's investments, external lighting was fixed in the courtyards of 96 houses in 13 streets, and 160 new lamps were installed at the entrances and common use areas of residential buildings, making the streets of the Prydniprovskyi residential area lighter and safer.

 Renovation of roads in the Chapli residential area is also in progress. Over 100 tonnes of gravel and the same amount of rock fines were used for the improvement of road paving in the streets, which have not seen any renovations for dozens of years.

 “Many employees of DTEK’s thermal power plant live in this area, and we appreciate that the plant management actively participates in the life of the community” said Liudmyla Kozlovska, Head of the Territorial Council of the Chapli area. “We are facing many problems, and they cannot be solved at once, but constantly keeping in touch with the residents, the council and the management of DTEK Prydniprovska TPP are able to prioritise and address the most pressing issues.”

 “DTEK Prydniprovska TPP is an important part of the Prydniprovskyi area, as the areal social infrastructure has long been dependent on the plant’s performance,” said Viktoria Gryb, Head of DTEK's Social Development Department. “Since 2010 when the Samarskyi district joined DTEK's social partnership declaration, the plant and the local community have been closely cooperating to improve residents’ well-being in the area. Such systemic interaction of business, local authorities and the community will continue going forward.”
