An intense russian attack on one of our power stations near the frontline on Saturday has wounded five DTEK power engineers. The attack is ongoing and power generation equipment has sustained damage.
 
Our colleagues have received first aid and have been transferred to hospital. We are in touch with them and their families and are providing all assistance necessary.
 
As soon as the attack is over, our engineering teams will begin damage assessment and begin repairs.
 
This is the 10th assault on the same thermal power plant in the past two months – the previous attack coming on December 20th.

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.
