Upgrade of the lighting system provides for the installation of 2,200 LED lamps as part of the energy service project. This will save 7.2 million kWh of electricity per year and reduce emissions to the atmosphere by 6,440 tons of CO2. The project is being financed and implemented on a turnkey basis by the energy efficiency company DTEK ESCO.

“We plan to complete all the works by the end of November. But now we see that the result of energy saving already exceeds our expectations a little. At the same time we use the equipment of the famous company Philips. Our company invests more than 20 million hryvnias into the project,” said Andrii Ivanko, Project Manager of DTEK ESCO.

“The most important thing that we are interested in the upgrade of electric lighting is to improve working conditions for staff, reduce energy consumption and increase the level of illumination. New lamps are very reliable and can work without replacement for more than 5 years. Now our employees can visually compare how the production areas of the shop are lit with old lamps and how LED lighting stacks up against them,” said Vitalii Holovchenko, Head of the Energy Saving Department of Ilyich Iron and Steel Works.

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.
