DTEK, a leading energy company in Ukraine, has invested €2.4 billion in the country’s economy since the onset of the full-scale invasion by Russia. The company continues to pursue new generation projects despite ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure.
This information was disclosed by Ivan Helukh, DTEK’s Strategy Director, during the Forbes Ukraine energy meetup titled “Energy of Business 2026.” Helukh elaborated on the transformation of Ukraine’s energy system amidst the war and discussed strategies to ensure its resilience in the future.
Since 2022, DTEK’s thermal power plants have suffered 220 strikes, with three out of eight stations currently occupied. These challenges underscore the precarious situation facing the energy sector.
In a notable development, DTEK is nearing completion of Ukraine’s first wind power plant constructed during the ongoing conflict. Once operational, the plant will have a capacity of 500 MW, with a total investment of €650 million allocated to the project.
Overall, DTEK’s investments reflect a commitment to bolstering Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a period of significant adversity.
DTEK's substantial investments in Ukraine's economy highlight its ongoing commitment to energy infrastructure despite the challenges posed by the war. The company's initiatives, including a new wind power plant, aim to enhance the resilience of the energy sector.
