March highlights – a quick look at DTEK’s key news and milestones from the month
Norway supports DTEK’s 650 MW Poltavska windfarm
With support from Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, DTEK is advancing the 650 MW Poltavska wind power plant, set to become Ukraine's largest windfarm and complete by 2028. The funding will support geological surveys and engineering work needed to move the project into delivery.
Located in an energy-deficient region of central Ukraine, Poltavska shows how renewables can support both resilience today and long-term recovery tomorrow.
At CERAWeek 2026 in Houston, DTEK joined global energy leaders for discussions on energy security, investment and Ukraine’s recovery.
CEO Maxim Timchenko spoke in the main programme and at two side events focused on transatlantic cooperation and strategic opportunities in Ukraine’s energy security.
In an interview with Axios, Timchenko underlined that Ukraine’s wartime experience offers practical insight for allies facing similar threat.
DTEK engineers escape russian drone strike
Two DTEK electrical engineers narrowly escaped a russian FPV drone strike in Dnipropetrovsk region on 17th March after spotting the incoming drone and abandoning their vehicle moments before impact.
The incident is a reminder of the risks energy workers continue to face while keeping the system running.
DTEK wins global workforce award
DTEK has won the Workforce Award at the 2026 International Energy Awards in London. The award recognises Ukraine's Hidden Army, the programme that opened underground mining roles to women for the first time in the country’s history.
The recognition highlights the people behind Ukraine’s energy resilience and how the war has transformed the country’s workforce.
