Before 1950 Lutsk was illuminated using two DC diesel power plants and thermal power plant built in 1909. In the post-war period, the first significant source of electricity in Volyn was 4.1 MW industrial thermal power plant commissioned in Lutsk in 1950. The situation with electricity supply changed after the commissioning in 1950s of Dobrotvirs'ka power plant in the neighbouring Lviv region. From there high-voltage lines started to run to Volyn, too. On June 1, 1960 Lutsk Electricity Grid was established on the basis of Volyn power plants, renamed in September 1963 to Volyn Electricity Grid.
