DTEK, Ukraine’s biggest investor in renewables facilities, is hoping it will be green energy that drives the phoenix from the ashes. That was the main message the company put across when it attended the COP27 climate conference in Egypt recently.
It was the first time Ukraine had been represented by a whole pavilion at the United Nations’ event, with Antonina Antosha, press secretary of DTEK Group, hailing it a “huge success”.
“Looking at Ukraine’s geography and the knowledge that we already have, we can become the green hub for Europe, and help countries get rid of their overdependence on Russian energy».
“We don’t want to rebuild or restore Ukraine once the war is over. We want to build a new Ukraine, centred around renewables and innovation, and we need to start doing that now», - added Antonina Antosha.
