The enemy continues to carry out terrorist attacks on Ukraine's civilian and energy facilities and energy infrastructure.

This afternoon, on May 19, Russian shelling damaged the main power lines that supplied power to one of DTEK Energy's thermal power plants.

As a result, the plant stopped generating electricity. However, the plant's equipment was not damaged.

DTEK Energy is trying to restore electricity production as soon as possible. It continues to do everything in its power to maintain the reliable operation of the Ukrainian power grid in the face of massive enemy attacks. The company synchronizes its actions with Ukrenergo.

In May, the company's generating facilities were attacked three times. Since September of last year there have been 33 attacks resulting in the three power engineers being killed and 28 injured. There were also deaths and injuries among contractors and rescuers.

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.
