DTEK Energy demands from Ukrenergo the refutation of accusation regarding the reasons for power system balancing failure and requesting emergency assistance from Belarus.
DTEK Energy TPPs have been working in excess of the plan for the last three months, compensating for the downtime of state-owned TPPs and CHPPs.
Thanks to the super-efforts of DTEK Energy’s power engineers and miners, the energy system continues to operate during this artificial crisis in the state-owned generation.
Despite the unprecedented crisis and record energy prices, DTEK Energy has successfully imported more than 300,000 tons of coal to the country, providing free support to state-owned thermal power plants. In the near future, the company expects 4 more shipments of coal from the USA. At the same time, the state-owned generation is at complete zero.
The company sees the far-fetched accusations of the system operator as a part of political pressure in response to a consequent and unrelenting stance on unacceptability of electricity imports from Russia and Belarus, and this is an attempt to shift the responsibility for failed energy policy of the state on to power engineers and miners.
