In 2022-2024, DTEK Energy invested nearly UAH 28 billion to restore its thermal power plants (TPPs) and coal mines.
Over the past three years, the company allocated nearly UAH 10 billion for repairs and recovery efforts at its TPPs. This funding enabled DTEK Energy’s power engineers and repair crews to work tirelessly to restore power generation capacities damaged or destroyed by enemy shelling. Since February 2022, the company’s power plants have endured more than 200 attacks.
A significant share of investments has also gone into Ukraine’s coal mining industry, with DTEK Energy investing nearly UAH 18 billion over the past three years to sustain mine operations and secure the required fuel reserves for thermal generation.
These investments have been allocated to major mining operations and repairs, equipping coal faces, providing mines with tunnelling equipment, underground transportation, and projects aimed at maintaining production capacity.
“For the past three years, Ukraine’s energy system has faced unprecedented pressure and terror – something no other power system in modern history has endured. Dozens of large-scale attacks, thousands of missiles and drones… Thermal generation has been hit the hardest. Under these conditions, we have been doing everything we can to hold the energy front, restore production capacities, and maintain the reliability of the energy system, especially during peak demand periods,”
Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy.
For reference
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, DTEK Energy’s TPPs have been targeted by the enemy 205 times. Enemy shelling has injured 56 power plant workers and claimed the lives of four.
In 2024, Russia launched 13 major attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, severely damaging DTEK Energy’s TPPs. By summer 2024, 90% of the company’s thermal generation capacities had been either damaged or destroyed.
