The Telegraph has reported on DTEK’s urgent appeal for equipment as new waves of russian strikes hit thermal power capacity.
“DTEK, which supplies one fifth of Ukraine’s electricity using six coal-burning plants, is seeking kit worth a total of $350m (£275m), including generators, turbines, transformers and circuit breakers.
The appeal – part of its “fight for light” campaign – follows heavy bombardment by russia that has wiped out 90% of the company’s coal generation capacity since March.”
DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko said:
“The destruction since March is worse than anything we’ve seen since the full-scale invasion, but I’m confident we can overcome these attacks.
“We have a clear plan and our teams on the ground are working around the clock.
