"This is our life now. Workers at a thermal power plant that's supposed to produce electricity are walking on frozen floors and using firewood to keep warm," said Oleksandr, 52, head of the Production Management Department.
The Associated Press recently visited a thermal power plant operated by DTEK revealing the resilience of workers maintaining critical infrastructure under constant threat.
Key insights from the AP report include:
- DTEK's electricity production dropped from 20% of Ukraine’s total generation to 12% since the invasion.
- The company has endured nearly 200 attacks since 2022.
- Approximately 90% of DTEK's infrastructure has been destroyed or damaged.
Another quote from the article comes from Dmytro, a 41-year-old power unit operator: "Who'll do it, if not us? I also have family waiting for me at home, but if we all leave and the equipment breaks down, the responsibility will be on our shoulders, the entire city will lose electricity and heating."
The report highlights international support, noting that the G7 and allied countries have allocated over $4 billion in energy assistance, with a recent €107 million donation from the European Commission and U.S. government to help DTEK prepare for winter.
