Frank Siebert is a senior executive with many years of experience gained in Eastern Europe, Germany and the UK. In 2012-2018, Frank represented the interests of shareholders in Nabucco, an international gas pipeline construction project. Earlier, Frank had been an executive at Ruhrgas and E.ON, Germany’s largest energy company, for 19 years.

“One of DTEK’s key objectives is to get prepared for a competitive energy market. It means that the processes inside the company must change and the expertise of our management team should be expanded. We must learn to compete for our customers, new technologies and investment capital. This will help DTEK maintain its leadership position in the new market environment. European energy companies completed the market reform process ten years ago. Thus, Frank’s expertise will be essential for DTEK today, as he has been through the liberalisation of the European energy sector with E.ON,” said DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko.

“Ukrainian energy sector is on the verge of global transformations driven by the initiated reforms and objectives set by the Energy Strategy of Ukraine. The country has a great potential to build a new energy market shortly to compete with the European markets on equal terms. I see that DTEK is actively promoting this transformation, and I have an opportunity to contribute to these changes,” noted Frank Siebert.

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.
