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.
In the first half of 2025, DTEK Energy invested approximately UAH 4 billion in repairs and restoration of thermal power plants damaged by massive attacks, which is more than in the whole of 2024, when UAH 3.6 billion was invested, according to the DTEK Communications Department.
According to its release on Friday, during this year’s ongoing repair campaign, a significant amount of work has already been completed, although there is still a lot of work to be done this year and next.
“Our energy workers are restoring not only equipment, but also confidence in the continued reliable operation of thermal power generation and the power system as a whole.
Electricity is the foundation of everything, and we are doing everything possible to ensure that there is enough of it even in the most difficult moments,” commented Alexander Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy.
It is noted that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has already struck DTEK’s thermal power plants 205 times. In total, last year, the energy infrastructure survived 13 large-scale attacks. Since February 2022, 56 power plant workers have been injured and four killed in shelling of DTEK Energy’s thermal power plants.
As reported, on the night of July 18, during the shelling of the Dnipropetrovsk region by Russian occupiers, a Ukrzaliznytsia train driver was killed and a DTEK locomotive driver was wounded.
DTEK Energy’s machine-building enterprises manufactured and repaired 1,707 units of mining equipment in January-June 2025, including four new roadheaders for mining, according to the energy holding’s press service.
According to a press release on Tuesday, machine builders also manufactured 1.2 million spare parts and components.
As reported, in the first half of 2024, 757 units of mining equipment were manufactured and repaired, including eight new roadheaders and cleaning combines.
At the same time, 542,000 spare parts and components were produced. “DTEK Energy’s machine builders are actively manufacturing equipment and providing miners with the necessary spare parts.
This allows Ukrainian mines to steadily extract coal so that thermal power generation can confidently get through the summer peak loads and enter the next heating season more reliably,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko in a press release.
DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets include the Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant (relocated to Dnipro in 2022), the Svitlo Shakhtaria plant in Kharkiv, and the Pershotravne RMB.
As reported, in the first half of 2025, DTEK Energy invested UAH 2.9 billion in Ukrainian coal mining, while in 2024, investments in Ukrainian mines amounted to about UAH 7.5 billion, and over the last three years (2022-2024) – UAH 18 billion.
Since the beginning of this year, DTEK Energy miners have put seven new coal seams into operation.
DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of coal-fired power generation. 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.
“DTEK Energy has invested UAH 2.9 billion of its own funds in Ukrainian mines since the beginning of 2025, the company said in a press release.
“The invested funds allow us to maintain the fuel reserves necessary for the operation of thermal generation, as well as to continue intensive preparations for the winter,” the operating holding said.
Since the beginning of this year, DTEK Energy miners have put seven new coal faces into operation.
“We maintain a high level of investment in our coal mining enterprises to ensure the rhythmic operation of mines and coal production. We need to be sure that our generating facilities have enough fuel to cover the summer peaks in electricity consumption and the upcoming heating season,” said DTEK Energy CEO Aleksandr Fomenko.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining have totaled over UAH 21.4 billion, which were spent on the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completion of coal faces, mine tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and production capacity support projects.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. The company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW as of January 2022. The company has established a full production cycle in coal mining: coal mining and enrichment, mechanical engineering and maintenance of mine equipment.
To prepare thermal power generation for summer consumption peaks and the next heating season, DTEK Energy miners have put seven new coal longwall faces into operation since the beginning of 2025, two of them in May, according to a press release from the operating holding company.
“In summer and during heating seasons, the load on thermal power generation traditionally increases, so we maintain the appropriate pace of work. Fuel production for thermal power generation requires detailed planning and consistency at every stage. This includes the launch of new coal longwall faces,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko.
Last year, the company invested about 7.5 billion hryvnia in Ukrainian coal mining, with a total of 18 billion hryvnia planned for 2022-2024.
According to DTEK Energy, the funds were used to carry out and repair capital mining works, complete coal longwall systems, equip mines with tunneling equipment, underground mine transport, and projects to support production capacities.
