In January-April 2025, DTEK Energy allocated approximately UAH 1.6 billion to repair and restore thermal power plants damaged by massive enemy shelling.
According to a press release from the energy holding company, the repair campaign is currently continuing without interruption, as the scale of the damage remains critical. A year ago, 90% of DTEK Energy’s generating capacity was destroyed or seriously damaged by attacks. On the eve of last winter, energy companies managed to restore more than half of it, but new strikes in November-December again caused serious damage.
“Our main task is not to stop. We are working every day on restoration to ensure the stable operation of the power system in the summer, during peak loads, and to confidently enter the next heating season,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko.
In 2024, DTEK invested UAH 3.6 billion in the restoration of thermal power plants and another UAH 7.5 billion in the development of domestic coal mining.
Over the past year, Russia has carried out 13 massive attacks on Ukraine’s energy sector, dealing a serious blow to DTEK Energy’s thermal power plants, among others. In total, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the company’s thermal power plants have been attacked by the enemy 205 times. Fifty-six power plant workers were wounded in the attacks and four were killed.
DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. As of January 2022, the company’s installed thermal generation capacity was 13.3 GW. A complete production cycle has been established in coal mining: coal extraction and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
