DTEK chief executive officer Maxim Timchenko says ‘almost all repaired equipment was destroyed or damaged again’
Ukraine’s biggest private power company, DTEK, is appealing for financing and spare equipment to rebuild its system after a devastating series of Russian attacks nearly destroyed its ability to produce electricity.
Mr. Timchenko said that the Russian air strikes are becoming more accurate, and that the Russian military’s strategy has changed. Near the start of the full-scale invasion, which began in February, 2022, the Russians mainly attacked the electricity transmission system in an effort to make Ukraine freeze in the dark during the winter. Those attacks were only partly successful.
The effort will see DTEK ask European power companies to donate spare equipment, such as transformers from old power plants, and try to raise funds for new equipment.
