The Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 in Berlin comes at a pivotal moment for Ukraine's energy sector and the country's path to recovery. As russia's ruthless attacks on civilian infrastructure continue, Ukraine's energy system has suffered staggering losses:
billion in direct damages to power assets
missile strikes on energy facilities in March 2024 alone
of thermal power plants damaged or in occupied territories
billion urgently needed to rebuild Ukraine's energy infrastructure
In the face of these immense challenges, the URC2024 represents a critical opportunity to rally international support and economic aid for Ukraine's swift recovery and reconstruction.
DTEK, as Ukraine's largest private energy company, is seizing this moment. We have a clear action plan to restore power units ahead of the upcoming heating season just months away. But we cannot do it alone.
"We gather at the most difficult point in the history of our energy system. As russian attacks continue, and with winter arriving in little over 100 days, the decisions we take this week are set to play a pivotal role in Ukraine's future. At a moment of unprecedented attacks, the support our partners give us reason for confidence. Today, DTEK and our partners in Ukraine have a clear plan to restore energy ahead of winter. We also have a pathway to create a resilient and clean energy system for the future. With our collective action and solidarity, I know we will win this #FightForLight."
The road ahead for Ukraine's energy recovery is daunting. But together with our international allies at URC2024, we can pave the way for Ukraine to rebuild a stronger, more modern and sustainable energy system from the ruins of war.
Join us at this critical juncture. Support Ukraine's energy freedom and the #FightForLight.
