DTEK Grids connected more than 5,000 new distributed and renewable energy installations in 2025, twice as many as in 2024. The growth comes as Ukraine continues to strengthen energy resilience amid ongoing attacks on large energy infrastructure. Smaller, decentralised energy sources such as rooftop solar and local generation help communities maintain power supply and recover faster from disruptions.  

Key results in 2025: 

  • 5,144 distributed and renewable installations connected. The highest number of new connections was registered in Kyiv region – 2,804 installations, followed by Odesa region – 887, Dnipropetrovsk region – 872, and Kyiv city – 169.  
  • 442 DTEK Grids customers became prosumers*, meaning they not only operate installations for their own consumption but also sell surplus electricity back to the grid. 
  • 4,691 residential solar installations connected, driven by the growth of prosumers. 

Businesses are also investing in local energy solutions. In 2025, DTEK Grids connected 21 solar power plants, 11 gas piston, gas turbine, and co-generation units, and seven energy storage systems. These installations help businesses partially cover their own electricity needs and maintain stable operations during periods of supply disruptions. 

In total,  more than 24,500 distributed and renewable installations  have been connected to DTEK Grids’ networks since the company began operations in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Donetsk regions.

"Every new distributed or green generation facility is an additional element of resilience for the energy system. In conditions where the enemy is systematically targeting large energy infrastructure, decentralised generation allows us to reduce the load on networks and restore electricity supply more quickly. We ensure a comfortable and fast connection process for new capacity – even amid constant repairs following shelling. This is our contribution to giving communities and businesses greater energy autonomy," said Alina Bondarenko, CEO of DTEK Grids.
