  • Ukraine’s DTEK receives its first shipment of LNG cargo from US

The consignment of approximately 100 million cubic metres of gas, or 1 TWh of energy, onboard the Gaslog Savannah arrived at the Revithoussa LNG terminal on Friday morning. D.TRADING, DTEK’s pan-European trading subsidiary, has purchased the entire cargo. Working with Greek and other partners, the LNG will now be re-gasified and exchanged through European Union and Ukrainian gas networks.

The shipment is part of broader efforts to enhance Ukraine and Europe’s energy security by reducing reliance on russian-supplied gas. Its arrival comes just days before Ukraine ends an arrangement transporting russian gas to the European Union via its territory.

  • Christmas Day attack: russia fires missiles against DTEK power stations in 10th attack of year

russia fired missiles against DTEK power stations in a cynical Christmas Day attack, causing serious damage and forcing Ukraine’s energy system to implement power outages across the Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa and Kyiv regions.

Tragically, updated information reveals that Dmytro Petlenko, a power engineer and boiler-turbine department patrolman at one of DTEK’s thermal power plants, was killed during this morning’s attacks.

DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko on his LinkedIn:

"There are no depths to which russia will not sink. Denying light and warmth to millions of peace-loving people as they celebrate Christmas is a depraved and evil act that must be answered. We appeal to every ally of Ukraine to end this state-sponsored terrorism now by giving our armed forces the air defence ammunition they need to protect essential energy infrastructure."
  • Fight for Light: Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk and DTEK draw global attention to Russian energy attacks ahead of boxing clash

Boxer Oleksandr Usyk is again fighting to keep the lights on across Ukraine this winter by focusing global attention on the devastating impact of russian attacks against its energy system as he defended his world heavyweight title in Riyadh on Saturday, December 21st, 2024.

DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, is partnering Usyk in its #FightForLight campaign to focus international attention on the critical state of Ukraine's energy system and to appeal for the urgent delivery of replacement equipment for all Ukrainian energy companies and ammunition for air defense systems.

Maxim Timchenko on his X account:

"So proud of what Oleksandr Usyk achieved last night. His victory showed the true fighting spirit of our nation and is so much bigger than a boxing match for us. I see that same spirit of determination in energy workers, who are putting themselves in harm's way, every day, to bring light and warmth to millions of people. Today, the 22nd December, we honour them on what is known as Energy Day in  Ukraine. Oleksandr, thank you for your consistent support of these men and women and for your unwavering commitment to DTEK. #FightForLight in the face of russian evil. You have achieved something incredible and inspire us even further to victory!."
