DTEK

DTEK would like to thank the European Commission for this opportunity to provide feedback under the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive. Updating RED II is directly relevant to the company due to Ukraine’s obligation under both the EU Ukraine Association Agreement and the Energy Community Treaty to implement the EU acquis in the electricity sector.

We would like to thank the European Commission for this opportunity to comment on the draft Regulation on CBAM. Although DTEK mostly operates outside of the European Union, our activities are closely connected with European Union energy markets.

DTEK welcomes this opportunity to comment on the proposal of the revised EU ETS Directive. We would like to reiterate our statement from the previous comments under these consultations that DTEK supports Ukraine’s commitment to implement an Emission Trading System based on the EU ETS Directive.

DTEK welcomes the unequivocal commitment by the leadership of the EU and Ukraine to strengthen the political association and economic integration of Ukraine with the European Union as defined in the Joint statement following the EU-Ukraine Summit on 6th October, 2020. Being the leader in the energy sector in Ukraine, DTEK reconfirms its ambition and continuing efforts to deliver real positive changes on the ground.

Being a leading Ukrainian energy utility company, DTEK is unequivocally committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and strongly advocates decreasing the dependence on fossil fuels within the shortest possible period of time. We would also appeal to European and global energy companies to stop any dealings with the russian energy sector that channels money into support the outrageous war against Ukraine.
