Over 2.6 Thousand Internally Displaced Persons have been Employed by DTEK Energy since the Beginning of the Full-Scale Invasion

DTEK Energy enterprises continue to contribute to reliability of the country's energy sector and the economy of the regions where the company operates.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, more than 6.8 thousand new employees have joined coal mining, power generating and machine-building enterprises of the company. The largest part of them, more than 2.6 thousand people, are Ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes due to the occupation or proximity of hostilities.

The vast majority of IDPs, about 95%, found a job at the coal mining enterprises of DTEK Energy. Most of them, not being professional miners, were retrained right at their work place. Another 850 new employees are young people who have just graduated from educational institutions and found their first job at the mine.

“In times of war, it is particularly important that every company should not only perform at its best, but also act as a reliable partner for communities and a responsible employer. In the history of DTEK Energy, we have experienced both numerous relocations of employees from dangerous places and relocations of our enterprises. For this reason, we understand and always try to support people who are forced to leave their homes due to hostilities. Together with new employees, we continue to maintain the foothold at the energy front – we are engaged in mining equipment preparation, coal production and power generation activities. We do everything to ensure Ukraine’s victory!”

said DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev.
