In particular, over the past three years, the company has invested almost UAH 10 billion in repairs and restoration of thermal power plants. This has allowed power engineers and repairmen to work hard over the years to restore the TPPs destroyed and damaged by hostile shelling. Since February 2022, there have been more than two hundred such attacks on the company's plants.
The company has also invested a significant part of its investments in Ukrainian coal mining. Over the past three years, DTEK Energy's investments in mines totalled almost UAH 18 billion. This helped maintain the fuel reserves required for thermal generation.
The investments were made in the construction and repair of capital mine workings, equipping coal faces, supplying mines with tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to maintain production facilities.
‘Over the past three years, Ukraine's energy system has been subjected to unprecedented pressure and terror that no other energy system in the world has experienced in recent history. Dozens of massive attacks, thousands of missiles and drones... Thermal generation is in the spotlight, and it has suffered the most. In these conditions, we have done and continue to do everything possible to continue to hold the energy front, restore capacity and maintain the reliability of the energy system, especially during peak consumption,' said DTEK Energy CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.
For reference
Since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion, DTEK Energy's TPPs have been attacked by the enemy 205 times. The shelling injured 56 power engineers and killed 4.
Last year, russia committed 13 massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector, inflicting a serious blow on DTEK Energy's thermal power plants. As of the summer of 2024, 90% of the company's thermal generation was damaged or destroyed.
