An aerial view of the Darnytska thermal power plant on Feb. 17, 2021. Ukraine’s state energy regulator has fined three subsidiaries of Ukraine’s largest energy firm DTEK $180,000 for their failure to provide guaranteed coal reserves to thermal power plants in winter, potentially posing a threat to Ukraine’s national energy security. DTEK has called the charges against them “baseless” and is going to appeal.
