The enemy continues to carry out terrorist attacks against civilian and energy facilities in Ukraine. On the evening of May 15, one of DTEK Energy's thermal power plants was again targeted by shelling. Fortunately, there were no casualties. However, the plant's equipment was damaged. After the shelling stopped, the power company started repairs. DTEK Energy continues to do everything possible to maintain the reliable operation of the Ukrainian power system in the face of enemy attacks. The company is synchronizing its actions with Ukrenergo.

This is the third attack on the company's generating facilities since the beginning of May, and since September last year, DTEK Energy's power plants have been attacked 33 times. As a result, three power engineers were killed and 28 were injured. Contractors and rescue workers were also killed and wounded during these attacks.

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.
