DTEK Energy engineers are working tirelessly to restore as much capacity as possible, both in preparation for and throughout the upcoming heating season, after significant damage and destruction caused by massive enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure.
To accelerate this process, the company has invested more than UAH 2.1 billion of its own funds in thermal power plant repairs and restoration over the first eight months of 2024.
"Energy infrastructure, and thermal generation in particular, remains a top target for the enemy. We have no choice but to do everything we can to prevent them from achieving their objectives, ensuring that Ukrainians stay connected to light and heat for as long as possible. However, the damage from shelling is so extensive that restoration will continue not only before the heating season but throughout the winter and for years to come,"
said Ildar Salieiev, CEO of DTEK Energy.
Overall, DTEK Energy plans to invest about UAH 3.9 billion in TPP repairs in 2024, same as last year.
For reference
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, DTEK Energy's thermal power plants have been targeted by the enemy more than 180 times. These attacks have injured 56 power plant workers, and 3 have lost their lives. Between March and June of this year alone, the enemy launched seven large-scale attacks on the company’s TPPs. As a result of the shelling, about 90% of DTEK's thermal generation capacities have been destroyed or damaged. Preliminary estimates suggest that approximately UAH 14-16 billion ($350-400 million) will be required to restore these damaged capacities, covering both equipment losses and repair costs.
