In an interview with Axios, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko described this past winter as the hardest Ukraine has faced since independence and outlined what years of wartime operations have taught the company about protecting energy infrastructure.
Timchenko said DTEK is ready to share these lessons with energy companies facing similar threats.
"We've learned a lot on how to protect our equipment, how to manage the situation, how to make sure that people are in safe places under attack, how to react and recover in a very short period of time," he said, speaking at CERAWeek in Houston.
Key lessons are:
- Protect critical facilities with coordinated air defence;
- Keep workers safe with accessible shelters;
- Prepare in advance by pre-positioning key equipment, such as transformers and gas compressors.
The scale of destruction on Ukraine’s power system has been significant. In a single wave of russian strikes last October, around 60% of the country's gas production capacity was destroyed.
Despite this, Timchenko used CERAWeek to highlight Ukraine as a place for investment.
"Come and see and do business with the local companies who decided to stay during the war time – not only stay but invest."
