Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, it has set out to destroy our energy infrastructure. As the country’s largest private energy company, DTEK’s campaign to repair the damage, and to restore power to Ukrainian cities and homes, is a fight for freedom, peace and progress. A fight against darkness and destruction.
We call it the Fight for Light.
But it’s also a fight for life. Because energy is life. Everything that enables a modern society to function depends on energy. An attack on civilian power stations and grids is an attack on civilian lives and livelihoods.
For three winters russia has tried to terrorise Ukraine into submission. And each year it has failed.
This report documents the extraordinary speed and scale of DTEK’s restoration efforts, plus our record-pace expansion of wind, solar and battery power – both conducted against overwhelming odds, in extreme and perilous conditions, by our remarkable people.
Defending the energy front line
For more than a decade, russia has attempted to plunge Ukraine into darkness. Throughout, DTEK has never wavered in its mission: to bring light and warmth to people.
Three years on from full-scale invasion and after more than a decade of fighting, I feel immense pride at what we have achieved and, in DTEK’s 20th year, approach the future with true hope.

Fight for Light
In wave after wave of drone, missile and artillery strikes, russia has targeted critical civilian infrastructure including power plants and electricity grids.
Their aim: to cast the streets of Ukraine into darkness.
Our people have been fighting back. Their story of resilience takes us from before the very first days of the war through three years of destruction, restoration, and destruction again. And it shows the way out of the cycle: through rapid investment in highly resilient renewable technologies.
This is our Fight for Light.

Resilience through renewables: a new energy future
Since 2008, DTEK has been on a journey that will see Ukraine’s renewable energy capacity expand significantly. This has only been accelerated by russia’s war of aggression.
By driving the transition to greener sources of power generation and storage, DTEK is helping create a new, distributed power system for Ukraine, helping reduce its vulnerability to attack and break the cycle of destruction.
Sustainability
From our origins as a thermal power producer, the company today is evolving into a sustainable energy leader for Ukraine and Europe.
For millions of Ukrainian families, our 55,000-strong team is keeping the lights on in the face of russian attacks on our energy assets. And our wind farms, solar plants and battery storage parks are already helping to make Europe and Ukraine’s energy systems greener and more resilient. But our ambitions go much further.
