We’re keeping up the fight  –  DTEK for Power Engineering International

Speaking before a crowd of energy industry leaders in Frankfurt, Germany, Vadym Utkin held up what he said was a piece of a russian missile.

The chunk of steel was used to damage the electricity grid in Ukraine, where Utkin is the energy storage lead for DTEK, the country’s largest private energy investor. Around 40% of the electric grid has been damaged since Russian attacks on the grid began on Oct. 10, he said.

“We’re keeping up the fight,” Utkin said during his keynote address at Enlit Europe in Frankfurt, Germany.

Despite the damage, Utkin said that DTEK is undeterred. The company has both the resources and manpower to rebuild and fortify Ukraine’s electric grid, and fully intends to do so.

Ukraine is in need of a wide variety of equipment to rebuild the grid, including transformers, circuit breakers, surge arrestors, mobile substations, joints, and more. And it isn’t as simple as replacing damaged infrastructure, since much of the Soviet-era energy equipment used in Ukraine today is not compatible with European or U.S. standards.

Meanwhile, long-lead times, high transportation costs, and supply chain constraints plaguing the global energy industry are magnified in the war-torn country.
