It’s our job to bring light to people, doing the impossible – DTEK for Financial Times

The Financial Times spoke with Ukrainian energy workers who are continuously fighting on the energy front and bringing back the light and heat to Ukrainians.

  • “I’ve got all my team ready within one phone call, they are Marvel superheroes,” said the maintenance engineer at DTEK. “It’s our job to bring light to people, doing the impossible.” 
  • “All the equipment is located in the open air, so it’s quite easy to hit,” said Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s chief executive. 

If there is a direct hit, there is no chance the equipment can be saved.

  • “The electricity grid is like a body: everything is interconnected and if one part is damaged it is felt everywhere,” Touinda said. “I am not afraid, but it is getting harder to deal with all the damage.”
