DTEK
Maxim Timchenko is the CEO of DTEK, the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector.
Ukraine's energy security was the topic of the first 2023 online talk by DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko, on January 25. On January 14, Russia had changed tactics to focusing on destroying power units in that nation.
DTEK is the largest private investor in Ukraine's energy sector. Its companies are involved in coal and natural gas extraction, electricity generation from wind, solar, and thermal power plants, energy resources trading in national and international markets, distributing and supplying electricity to consumers, providing energy efficiency services to customers, and developing high-speed charging station networks.
As of this discussion, one hundred thirty-three of DTEK's employees have died, twenty-four are missing, four are in captivity, and three hundred twenty-two have been wounded. Despite that heavy toll, Timchenko is determined to keep the lights on, and looks ahead here to rebuilding Ukraine's energy future.
DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko: I will start with good news, because we've passed through half of the heating season. Ukraine is alive. Ukraine is not in darkness, and we have enough to survive, with the heat and power supply. Of course, it's not easy.
