In an interview with Gas Strategies Antonina Antosha, press secretary of DTEK Group, stressed that DTEK believe Ukraine will help Europe move on from its overdependence on russia’s energy resources. She added: “We can help Europe switch over to clean and innovative energy – we just need help now to fund that transition.”
The key points:
- russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine is demonstrating the importance of energy independence for security and peace across Europe, and renewable energy will have an increasingly important role to play;
- DTEK is extremely supportive of “30 by 2030” initiaitve of the Ukrainian government. The company will make an all-out effort to ensure Ukraine builds 30GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
- DTEK also wishes to produce green hydrogen – Ukraine is already developing two projects with the capacity to produce green hydrogen that would generate 100 MW of energy – while another ambition is to construct hydroelectric power stations with 3.5 GW of energy capacity as part of DTEK’s 30 by 30 initiative;
- DTEK has further pledged to evolve into a greener, more efficient and technologically advanced business, with a goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2040;
- Ukraine is home to the most gas in Europe after Norway;
- We plan to develop a culture of open innovation and complete the digital transformation by 2025;
