Key Achievements
- New Equipment: DTEK's machine-building plants manufactured and repaired approximately 1,100 units of mining equipment in 2024. Among these were 11 new tunneling and cleaning combines designed to enhance coal extraction efficiency.
- Spare Parts Production: The company produced more than 1 million spare parts and components, ensuring the smooth operation of coal mining activities.
Role in Energy Stability
Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy, highlighted the crucial role of coordinated efforts among energy workers during the heating season. He praised the contribution of Ukrainian machine builders in supporting miners and coal production to stabilize energy supplies.
"Ukrainian machine builders continue to make a significant contribution to this, supporting miners and Ukrainian coal mining in general with the necessary mining equipment," Fomenko stated.
Investments in Energy Infrastructure
In 2024, DTEK, owned by Rinat Akhmetov, invested approximately UAH 11 billion in:
- Restoration of Thermal Power Plants: Repairing damage caused by Russian attacks.
- Stable Coal Mining: Supporting uninterrupted coal production to meet energy demands during wartime.
Context
The ongoing conflict with Russia has posed significant challenges to Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Despite these adversities, DTEK has focused on rebuilding and modernizing critical systems to ensure energy security for the country.
Looking Ahead
DTEK's continued investments in machine-building capabilities and energy infrastructure will play a vital role in maintaining Ukraine's energy resilience, particularly during the challenging winter months. The company's efforts underscore the importance of local production and innovation in overcoming wartime challenges and ensuring energy stability.
