In a recent Washington Post article, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko revealed that russia's missile attacks have devastated Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with the country's largest private power producer losing 86 percent of its generating capacity.
"What makes the situation worse is that many of the electrical facilities have been targeted repeatedly — a cycle of destruction, recovery, destruction," Timchenko told the Washington Post. He pointed to one DTEK power unit that was repaired just weeks ago only to be struck again over the weekend, saying "Now it's just gone."
Timchenko expressed hope that next week's Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin can help secure crucial equipment like gas turbines. He also aims to reach agreements to purchase decommissioned power plant equipment from Europe as DTEK works to restore capacity.
The full Washington Post article details the dire situation facing Ukraine's energy sector under the onslaught of russian strikes. DTEK remains committed to maintaining and rebuilding infrastructure to keep Ukraine's lights on.
