russia launched repeated attacks against a DTEK thermal power plant near the contact line for many hours on Thursday and Friday, damaging equipment but not resulting in any casualties.
No one was killed or injured and engineers immediately began repairs once the shelling had stopped.
russia has sought to systematically destroy Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure since its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Like last winter, the occupier has ramped up attacks in recent weeks as temperatures fall and ordinary Ukrainians become more dependent on heating.
In the face of enemy attacks, DTEK will continue to do everything possible to maintain the reliable operation of the Ukrainian power system.
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.
