According to preliminary information, between January and March this year, DTEK Energy allocated approximately UAH 4.2 billion to preparations for the summer peak demand period and the next heating season.
The funds were used for repairs and recovery work after enemy shelling, as well as to support the operation of thermal power plants and mines.
“In the run-up to and throughout the heating season, the entire Ukrainian energy sector – and the company’s thermal power plants were no exception – came under numerous massive attacks. Over the past six months, our plants alone have been subjected to massive shelling on 11 occasions. These concentrated attacks caused enormous destruction. Some of our plants were targeted by dozens of drones and missiles in a single strike. But thanks to the selfless work of thousands of energy workers, we have made it through this season. The fourth one already. We are continuing repairs without pause, as the scale of the destruction remains unprecedented — the restoration of thermal power plants following the shelling will continue throughout 2026 and beyond. “Our power engineers, repair crews, miners and mechanical engineers have already begun preparations for next winter, because the main thing is that Ukrainians remain with light and heat,” said DTEK Energy CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion (2022–2025), DTEK Energy has invested nearly UAH 44 billion in thermal power plants, mines and machinery works. During this period, the company’s thermal power plants have come under attack more than 220 times. Energy workers have had to rebuild the plants from scratch more than 60 times and restore their operations following critical damage.
