DTEK Energo’s thermal power plants have increased electricity production by 28% over the past four months compared to the same period in 2022, the energy holding company said in a press release on Wednesday.
“In August, when consumption held at record highs for summer due to the heat wave, power engineers generated 35% more electricity into the energy system than in August last year,” the company said.
In total, in January-August 2023, the company’s thermal power plants released about 9.9 billion kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to the average consumption of about 3.3 million households during the year.
“Power engineers do their best to, on the one hand, repair, restore and prepare the plants for maximum load in the fall and winter period, on the other hand, to reliably maintain and insure the energy system during other peak periods as well. For this purpose, just last week we put two power units of our TPPs into operation after repair, with a total capacity of almost 400 MW,” DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev was quoted in the press release.
DTEK Energy currently operates six of the nine TPPs remaining in the unoccupied territory of Ukraine: Burshtynska, Dobrotvirska and Ladyzhynska TPPs (DTEK Zakhidenergo), Prydniprovska and Kryvorizka TPPs (DTEK Dniproenergo) and Kurakhovska TPP (Vostokenergo LLC).
