DTEK has focused all its resources on restoring damaged electric networks in the Kyiv region. We have brought in additional maintenance crews from the Dnipro region, Odesa region and the city of Kyiv. Power supply to all region residents will be restored by 1 June.

“As of today there are 1,600 km of damaged power lines in the Kyiv region. DTEK has put together all resources and capabilities and focused on making sure that all region residents would have the lights back as early as 1 June,”

said Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s CEO, during his work trip to the Kyiv region on 16 April.

The key objective for our company is to restore power to the Kyiv region residents as fast as possible. That is why the first phase will see temporary connections being made to supply power. After that we will start restoring power supply through permanent connections, which will take more time and financial resources.

This way we will be able to ensure reliable and interruption-free power supply to households and companies in settlements that suffered destruction during military hostilities.

During the last 24 hours, DTEK’s linemen turned power back on to 47,338 families in 27 towns and villages of the Kyiv region. Work is now underway in another 30 settlements in the Borvary, Bucha and Vyshhorod districts.

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.
