Maxim Timchenko: synchronizing with ENTSO-E was Ukraine’s existential choice

Precisely one year ago, on March 16 a historic moment happened in the course of Ukraine’s power sector development. Ukraine joined the unified energy system of continental Europe, ENTSO-E, in an accelerated procedure. “It was a live geopolitical choice. Ukraine is moving towards Europe, striving to become a trusted member of the European Union. For over a year now Ukraine’s Armed Forces are defending European values: freedom, democracy, the right to independence. Therefore, joining the unified energy system of continental Europe was vital. Especially in conditions of full-scale russian aggression,” said in an interview for DTEK Group website DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko.
