Since February 2022, DTEK Energy’s coal mining, energy and machine-building enterprises have provided jobs for more than 3.8 thousand internally displaced people.
As the company said in a press release on Wednesday, more than 80% of those employed joined DTEK Energy’s coal mining companies. Most of them did not have a mining specialty and were retrained on the job. There are also many young people among the new employees who got their first job at Ukrainian mines.
“As a reliable partner and responsible employer, we systematically support the communities of the regions where our enterprises are located. We are always ready to accommodate people who have been forced to move,” said DTEK Energy CEO Aleksandr Fomenko.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. As of January 2022, the company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW. The company has established a full production cycle in coal mining: coal mining and enrichment, mechanical engineering, and maintenance of mine equipment.
Currently, most of DTEK Group’s thermal generation facilities have been destroyed as a result of Russian attacks.
