Fifty-two transformers have arrived in Ukraine to restore electricity supply, thanks to the joint efforts of the DTEK Group, Hitachi Energy Ukraine and Hitachi Energy Poland. The new transformers, which will replace those damaged by russian missiles and drones, are essential for the quick return of electricity to light and heat homes and business, and to power factories.

This is unprecedented help and support from Hitachi Energy, which has re-ordered its transformer production to ensure the orders for Ukraine are the highest priority. And the equipment was manufactured and delivered three times faster than normal.

This cooperation between Hitachi Energy and DTEK Group is a landmark example for other international companies that want to help Ukraine in its battle against the aggressor by helping us restore power supplies. On behalf of both the DTEK Group and Ukrainians, we’re incredibly grateful for the large-scale assistance that is helping us through the most difficult winter since the independence of Ukraine.

DTEK Group is integral in the transfer of the aid to the Ministry of Energy for further distribution among Ukrainian energy companies.

So far, electricity has been restored in more than 6.4 million homes in Ukraine. We are working 24 hours a day to keep power supplies running, doing our part to beat the russian invasion.

DTEK Group is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, with 55,000 employees and over €12 billion of capital invested since 2005.

Our businesses generate electricity at wind, solar and thermal power plants; distribute and supply power to end consumers; extract natural gas and coal; trade energy resources on Ukrainian and foreign markets; and provide domestic and commercial energy services.

Over the last 20 years, DTEK has grown into a national energy leader and is today transforming into a pan-European clean energy business.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, DTEK Group has restored power to millions of consumers across regions affected by hostilities.

DTEK Group is 100% owned by SCM Holdings. The ultimate beneficiary and sole shareholder is Rinat Akhmetov, a businessman and philanthropist.
