About power generation
DTEK Energy generates electricity at thermal power plants and operates its thermal generation assets to meet the needs of Ukraine’s power system.
The company’s thermal power plants are located in various regions of Ukraine. Five thermal power plants are currently available: Burshtynska, Dobrotvirska, Ladyzhynska, Prydniprovska and Kryvorizka TPPs. Three other plants have been occupied or destroyed by the enemy since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine: Luhanska, Zaporizhska and Kurakhivska TPPs.
of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine: Luhanska, Zaporizhska and Kurakhivska TPPs. Thermal coal is the main fuel used by the available power plants. DTEK Energy’s mines extract coal for thermal power generation, bringing the company’s two core business areas together in a single production cycle.
Combined Cycle Gas Turbine
(CCGT) Project
(CCGT) Project
DTEK Energy will develop a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power generation facility with a capacity of up to 650 MW at the site of one of its thermal power plants. This is Ukraine's largest new flexible generation project, designed to strengthen the co
For more than four and a half years, DTEK Energy has been restoring power units damaged by Russian attacks and bringing back into operation equipment that the enemy sought to destroy. At the same time, the experience of the war has demonstrated that the future of Ukraine's power system depends not only on rebuilding existing facilities but also on developing new, more flexible and resilient generation capacity.
One of DTEK Energy's key initiatives in developing new energy infrastructure is therefore a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) project with a capacity of up to 650 MW. The project aims to strengthen Ukraine's energy security, enhance power system resilience and support long-term decarbonisation.
The new generation capacity will be developed at the industrial site of one of the company's thermal power plants. Total investment is estimated at €900 million, with commercial operation scheduled to begin by the end of 2031.
This is Ukraine's largest project for new flexible gas-fired generation capacity. It forms part of DTEK Group's strategic programme aimed at providing the country's power system with more flexible, lower-carbon generation.
The project will be implemented under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between DTEK and GE Vernova, a global leader in energy technologies. The MoU was signed in June 2026 at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026) in Gdańsk, Poland.
The Government of Ukraine has designated the CCGT project as one of DTEK's two flagship projects among the 18 initiatives included in the Economy of the Future plan. The plan aims to accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery through targeted infrastructure projects.
Restoring damaged thermal power plants and developing new generation capacity
DTEK Energy’s power engineers repair and restore thermal power plant equipment following russian attacks and prepare generation capacity for seasonal demand.
Alongside this work, the company is developing new flexible generation capacity to strengthen the power system’s ability to respond quickly to changes in electricity demand and output.
russia continues to systematically attack DTEK Energy’s thermal power plants. Plant teams return damaged equipment to service wherever technically possible and continue restoring generation capacity.
