In future, DTEK Dnipro Grids and DTEK Donetsk Grids will carry out functions of electricity distribution and grids operation. The new companies have been set up to sell electricity to consumers in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Electric Energy Market”. Transition to the new distribution business model is planned to be finalized by the end 2018.

“We have made the first step towards transformation of oblenergos into modern electricity distribution and supply companies meeting operating and quality standards of the European level. DTEK Grids will focus in future at upgrading grid equipment to increase reliability of electric power supply; we will also tackle a task of improving services quality and simplifying procedure of connecting grids. Our plan is to actively launch new services and apply new digital technologies to offer our clients the most advanced, convenient and cost-effective solutions,” – commented DTEK CEO Ivan Gelyukh.

It should be reminded that under the new Law of Ukraine “On Electric Energy Market” Ukrainian oblenergos will have to separate generation and electricity supply functions and keep the electricity distribution function only. This is the best practice worldwide and the requirement of the EU Third Energy Package providing for competitive market conditions.

In February 2018, in compliance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine, DTEK was the first in Ukraine to start division (unbundling) process aimed at separation of electricity distribution and supply business from the heat and electricity generation business in Kiev having formed DTEK KYIVS’KI ELEKTROMEREZHI PrJSC as a structure separated out of KYIVENERGO PJSC. By the end of 2018, the companies under the direction of DTEK Grids (DTEK KYIVS’KI ELEKTROMEREZHI PrJSC, DTEK DNIPRO GRIDS JSC and DTEK DONETSK GRIDS JSC) will suspend their electricity supply operations and will engage in distribution only, while new companies will provide for electricity supply to consumers.
