DTEK wins S&P Platts Global Energy Award for support through war

DTEK Group was honoured at the ‘Oscars of Energy’ in New York on Thursday night for its instrumental work keeping the lights on across Ukraine during war.

DTEK won the Corporate Impact Award at the 25th S&P Platts Global Energy Awards for “having gone truly above and beyond in its corporate impact,” the organisation said.

Executive Director Dmytro Sakharuk stepped up to loud applause and told an audience of over 200 industry leaders that the award was “for every single person at DTEK who runs towards danger and keeps the lights on to defend democracy.” And he particularly thanked the Americans for their ongoing support.
“You keep us in this fight,” he said.

One judge said “DTEK is persevering amidst upheaval and crisis … they are a pillar for the people of Ukraine.”
