DTEK is leading the renewable energy transition in Ukraine and played an active role in the opening of Ukraine’s liberalized electricity market. We are helping facilitate further energy market reforms in Ukraine to consolidate our alignment with the European model and global best practices. We will strive to continue collaborating with partners in Ukraine and beyond to make sure our energy industry develops in a way that supports both the people of Ukraine and the environment in which they live.”
