Following the commissioning of the first stage of Tyligulska WPP, DTEK Renewables team continued to work on tasks to complete the construction of the wind farm to the design capacity. Among the important works taking place at the wind farm site is the process of preparing to pour 21 foundations for turbines.
 
The process requires the use of a special mortar, the so-called "liquid stone," which must be poured continuously and hardens very quickly.

"We will have a new experience as a customer and work supervisor, and not through the general contractor, as it was before,"

said Kostiantyn Bakharev, technical supervision manager.

That is why the contractors will be tasked with ensuring that 11.5 tons of mortar are added to each foundation and that the equipment is washed. After all, the mixture gains 50% strength in just half an hour.

"If the technology is not followed, the foundations have to be broken and poured anew," explains Kostiantyn Bakharev.

The site is also used to re-preserve unused components for the wind turbines and to hydro-insulate the finished foundations.

At the same time, DTEK Renewables is discussing with various equipment suppliers the possible delivery dates for components for the second stage of the wind farm and is looking for financing for the project.

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.
