Dniproenergo

Dniproenergo is an electricity provider headquartered in Ukraine. It operates within the country's power sector, delivering electric power to consumers and businesses. As part of Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure, the organisation contributes to the stability and reliability of the national grid. Its activities are subject to national energy regulations and it works alongside other utilities to maintain supply. The organisation's positioning in the energy market reflects its importance to both domestic consumption and industrial demand.

In June 2017, Dniproenergo was affected by the NotPetya ransomware attack that targeted Ukrainian critical infrastructure through a compromised update mechanism in widely used tax accounting software. The malware caused extensive data destruction across multiple sectors, including energy, and had significant collateral impact on multinational organisations. Security assessments attributed the attack to state‑sponsored actors linked to the Russian military, describing it as sabotage aimed at Ukraine. The incident resulted in billions of dollars in damages worldwide and highlighted the vulnerability of electricity providers to sophisticated cyber threats. Following the attack, Dniproenergo, like other affected entities, undertook efforts to restore systems and improve cyber‑resilience.
