It is important to convey a signal to international investors that it is possible and necessary to invest in Ukraine today, noted Maxim Timchenko.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Ukrainian business community focused on negotiations with international partners to attract Western capital. This will help increase Ukraine’s GDP, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko said in an interview with the American television channel CNBC.
According to him, Ukraine in Davos “is at the top of the agenda.”
“We are heard by our partners, governments, international companies. Of course, we are here to attract capital, protect our economy and help to continue to increase Ukraine’s GDP. We must open Ukraine to the world at this time, ” Timchenko said.
He emphasized that it is important to signal to international investors that it is possible and necessary to invest in Ukraine today. To do this, DTEK showed investors its example – the construction of the Tiligul wind power plant in the Nikolaev region during the war with an investment volume of hundreds of millions of dollars.
“This is our best argument for international partners, financial institutions, energy companies. Look at us, go to Ukraine, check what the situation is here, and be the first to take the initiative,” emphasized of DTEK CEO.
It was previously known that DTEK will complete the construction of the Tiligul wind farm at a cost of 450 million euros. In December 2023, the Ukrainian energy holding signed a corresponding memorandum with the Danish company Vestas, which is one of the largest manufacturers of wind generators in the world. The total investment in this project will exceed 650 million euros.
We remind you that in May 2023, the first phase of the Tiligul wind farm with 19 turbines with a capacity of 114 MW was commissioned.
