Operating context
Operating amid war and complexity
Our sustainability approach reflects our context. It is designed to be both realistic and responsible: prioritising energy security and system resilience today, while continuing to progress towards decarbonisation and long-term value creation.
With this in mind, our work at DTEK is guided by the following factors:

  • The condition of our assets
  • The stability and needs of Ukraine’s energy system
  • The national regulatory and policy framework
  • The security environment and related guarantees

As the situation evolves, we regularly assess the impact these factors have and will review and adapt our approach should any material changes occur.
Energy Transition Plan

DTEK’s energy transition is about transforming how we generate, distribute and supply energy in the future – while continuing to support Ukraine’s energy security today. Our approach reflects the realities of operating in a country at war: balancing near-term system resilience with a long-term shift away from high carbon activities.

Our Energy Transition Plan sets out a pathway to progressively reduce emissions, phase out coal and develop lower carbon energy solutions. The Plan is guided by international climate standards and is grounded in a realistic, responsible approach for our business and the communities that depend on us.

As the largest private energy company in Ukraine and the operator of most of the country’s coal-fired power stations, DTEK has a central role to play in supporting this transition and helping the country achieve its climate ambitions.

The war has underscored the need for an energy system that is more resilient and secure, as well as cleaner. This requires us to accelerate the development of decentralised generation, renewables and modern energy technologies that can strengthen the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system now and in the future.

Our social action

DTEK’s 55,000 people are our greatest strength. Every day, employees across the Group demonstrate exceptional courage, professionalism and commitment while working under wartime conditions. Their contribution is central to our success.

Supporting them is both a responsibility and a strategic priority to maintain a stable, motivated and productive organisation. This is especially important in the current context, as Ukraine continues to face labour shortages caused by war‑related mobilisation and migration.
