More than 2,700 green and distributed generation facilities were connected in January-June 2026 to the power grids of distribution system operators (DSOs) of DTEK Grids in the city of Kyiv, the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions, the operating holding company said Friday.

The company is modernizing grids and enhancing energy resilience in the regions by integrating green and distributed generation.
Solar generation dominated, with household customers connecting 2,728 solar power plants, and legal entities connecting 11 SPPs.
