“In 2024, DTEK Kyiv Regional Power Grids invested UAH 1.5 billion in the repair and development of grids, and this year the company plans to invest UAH 1 billion, said Vitaliy Shayda, CEO of the company.
“The amount of investments in network repairs and development in 2024 is UAH 1.5 billion. In 2025, we will invest more than UAH 1 billion,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv.
According to him, the company has repaired and renewed more than 9.5 thousand km of overhead power lines, updated almost 2 thousand power facilities, performed 852 repairs of cable lines, and cleared more than 4 thousand km of routes from overgrowth. He emphasized that thanks to these large-scale preparatory works, the company was able to prepare for the autumn-winter period and successfully pass it, providing reliable electricity supply to the residents of Kyiv region under martial law.
Shaida clarified that in 2024 the company connected almost 13 thousand facilities to its networks, which is 80% of the 2021 figure.
“This is evidence that the Kyiv region is living, building, developing, and this requires a modern electrical infrastructure. Therefore, we are directing all available resources to strengthen the grids to meet the region’s need for a stable and reliable power system,” he said.
According to Shaida, in 2024, five industrial green energy facilities were connected to the company’s grids: two solar power plants, one bioenergy facility, and two thermal power plants.
In addition, 1.5 thousand prosumers – household solar generation stations – have joined the company’s grid.
Shayda also noted that in 2024, a pilot project with a digital twin of the power grids was implemented at the Irpin power center. According to him, this allows for a quicker response to accidents, better load planning, and increased reliability of power supply.
