Distribution system operators (DSOs) at DTEK Networks reconstructed seven transformer stations and 17 substations between January and June 2026, and built 13 new transformer stations in Kyiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa regions.
“This is 1.5 times more than during the same period last year,” the operating holding company reported on Thursday.
Energy companies continue to upgrade infrastructure and prepare the grids for peak loads, particularly during the fall and winter months.
DTEK Networks noted that the scope of the investment program is approved annually by the state regulator, the NEURC, for all operators. At the same time, the holding’s distribution system operators repaired nearly 2,000 km of overhead lines and 4,600 km of underground cables in the first half of 2026, and restored nearly 3,000 power facilities.
In addition, to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a reliable power supply for households, specialists cleared 5,000 km of overhead line corridors of trees and shrubs.
“In total, we plan to invest over 6.7 billion UAH in network upgrades in 2026. This will allow us to build a safety margin for the upcoming heating season,” said Alina Bondarenko, CEO of DTEK Networks.
The company added that the development and modernization of infrastructure also create the necessary technical capabilities for connecting new customers.
“DTEK Networks” operates in the electricity distribution and power grid operation sectors in Kyiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Odesa regions. The DTEK Group’s distribution system operators serve 5.1 million households and 150,000 businesses.
