Today, everyone in Ukraine is doing their bit to help defeat the aggressor: soldiers, doctors, farmers, volunteers, entrepreneurs and others. DTEK Group is also doing everything it can to ensure the uninterrupted operation of Ukraine’s energy system and war-critical infrastructure. All the Group’s efforts are focused on helping and supporting Ukraine and every Ukrainian. 

DTEK Group is a diversified energy holding that includes six businesses and а corporate university, Academy DTEK. DTEK Group enterprises produce electricity at solar, wind and thermal power plants, mine coal and natural gas, trade energy resources on Ukrainian and foreign markets, distribute electricity and manage power grids infrastructure, supply consumers with electricity, offer energy efficient solutions, and expand a network of fast charging stations for electric vehicles. 

DTEK Group is also a strategic investor in energy assets in Ukraine and abroad. In 2021, capital investments of DTEK Group amounted to UAH 23.4 billion (USD 633 million). 

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, DTEK Group has donated UAH 527 million (USD 18.2 million) in humanitarian aid. Priority aid areas include purchasing protective equipment, medications and food kits for Ukrainians, and  supporting forcibly displaced people. 

Since the beginning of the war, DTEK has been providing free electricity to critical infrastructure institutions. Overall, more than 100 medical and other institutions receive electricity from DTEK, worth UAH 178 million (USD 4.8 million). 

Alongside the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, DTEK has organised aid transfers as part of the Saving Lives Project. Food supplies have already been handed over to the Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia region residents. 

In addition, DTEK and the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation have provided fice state-of-the-art Renasys™ Touch wound therapy devices to the Okhmatdyt National Specialized Children’s Hospital.

DTEK Group companies, including DTEK Energy, are helping displaced people get jobs. Since the beginning of the war, almost a thousand displaced people have been employed by DTEK Energy companies. 

The DTEK Group continues to support communities with the equipment, technical devices and means of transportation they need. The company has transferred 157 vehicles from its own fleet, including off-road vehicles and minibuses, which are used to protect civilians. 

DTEK Group companies continue to provide fuel for humanitarian purposes. So far, they have delivered a total of over 30,000 litres of condensate and diesel fuel. In addition, more than 450 tonnes of coal have been provided for Ukrzaliznytsia, which relies on coal for its evacuation trains. Over 100 tonnes more have been given to local communities to ensure heat supply. 

As a Ukrainian company, DTEK is doing everything it can to be a reliable partner in the implementation of humanitarian aid provided by the international partners. The successful cooperation between DTEK and Schneider Electric, Pullman System, Iberdrola and EON is a bright example for other international companies seeking to join the Ukraine support and recovery effort. DTEK’s and Schneider Electric’s joint efforts helped deliver autonomous lighting systems to the Donetsk region, where it is impossible to restore electricity supply due to intense fighting. 

As a result of joint efforts by the UN Global Compact Ukraine and the DTEK Group, Ukraine has received innovative mobile water treatment systems, which were provided by the AFTA Group as humanitarian aid. Pullman Electric Water Tricycles – mobile water treatment systems – filter polluted water under water-scarce conditions and provide drinking water to the regions left without water supply. 

The DTEK Group will continue to do everything it can to ensure Ukraine’s energy security and to support our country and our people in every way we can.
