DTEK has won the Workforce Award at the 2026 International Energy Awards, presented during International Energy Week in London – one of the energy sector's most prominent annual gatherings.
The award recognises Ukraine's Hidden Army, a programme that brought women into underground mining roles for the first time in the country’s history.
Launched after more than 15% of DTEK’s underground workforce was mobilised to serve in the armed forces, the initiative helped keep coal production running during wartime. Following emergency changes to labour legislation in spring 2022, women stepped into roles previously closed to them.
Today, more than 580 women work across DTEK mines, accounting for 5% of the underground workforce. They operate heavy machinery, repair electrical systems and drive locomotives up to 340 metres below ground.
Each recruit completes two months of theoretical training at Academy DTEK before moving to practical work underground. The skills they gained will support Ukraine’s wider energy recovery and transition.

DTEK Group is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, with 55,000 employees and over €12 billion of capital invested since 2005.
Our businesses generate electricity at wind, solar and thermal power plants; distribute and supply power to end consumers; extract natural gas and coal; trade energy resources on Ukrainian and foreign markets; and provide domestic and commercial energy services.
Over the last 20 years, DTEK has grown into a national energy leader and is today transforming into a pan-European clean energy business.
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, DTEK Group has restored power to millions of consumers across regions affected by hostilities.
DTEK Group is 100% owned by SCM Holdings. The ultimate beneficiary and sole shareholder is Rinat Akhmetov, a businessman and philanthropist.
