A DTEK thermal power plant near the frontline with russian forces has been hit for the second time in 24 hours. 
 
Equipment has been damaged and DTEK teams are on-site repairing the power station, which cannot be named due to reporting restrictions around critical infrastructure. No one was hurt in the attack, 
 
russia has launched around 40 attacks on DTEK power stations so far this winter, however we remain resolute in ensuring the uninterrupted flow of power to the Ukrainian people, businesses, civilian infrastructure and Ukraine's defenders.

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.
