In January–June 2025, DTEK Energy allocated UAH 6.9 billion to preparations for the 2025/26 heating season.
“Key areas include repairs, restoration of thermal power plants, and support for Ukrainian coal mining,” the company said in a press release.
In particular, as noted by DTEK Energy, given the challenges of the war and the consequences of numerous massive attacks on energy infrastructure, the energy holding company is continuing its ongoing repair campaign at thermal power plants. In six months, about UAH 4 billion has already been allocated for this work, which is more than in the whole of 2024, making it possible to prepare generating capacities for winter and maintain the reliability of the power system.
At the same time, intensive preparations are underway at Ukrainian mines. The company’s own investments in coal production since the beginning of the year amounted to UAH 2.9 billion. As a result, in the first half of the year, DTEK Energy miners put seven new coal seams into operation, providing fuel for heat generation.
The company’s machine-building enterprises are also working to support the mines. In the first half of the year, they manufactured and repaired 1,707 pieces of mining equipment, including four new roadheaders, as well as 1.2 million spare parts and components.
“Our power engineers, repair workers, miners, and machine builders continue to work hard to provide Ukrainians with electricity, especially during summer peaks in consumption, and to lay a more reliable foundation for thermal power generation during the next heating season (…) We are continuing to repair and restore thermal power plants, investing in coal mining and providing mines with the necessary equipment,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko.
According to the company, since the start of the full-scale war, the Russians have launched 205 strikes on DTEK Energy’s thermal power plants. Last year alone, there were 13 large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Since February 2022, 56 power plant workers have been injured and four people have been killed in attacks on DTEK Energy’s thermal power plants.
DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of coal-fired power generation. As of January 2022, the company’s installed thermal power 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.
