The decision to sell mines in the Rostov region was made in 2014, the company said.
Energy holding DTEK does not own any assets in Russia. The company announced this on Wednesday, November 15.
“DTEK Group finally divested all its coal assets in the aggressor country in 2021. For the past three years, the company has had nothing to do with these assets,” the statement said.
The press service added that the decision to sell mines in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation was made in 2014 in connection with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of war in Donbass. And since then, any investment and capital expenditure has been stopped, and the process of going out of business has begun.
“DTEK Energy acquired coal mines in the Rostov region before the start of the Russian invasion, in 2011-2012, to ensure the operation of thermal power plants,” the company recalled.
We remind you that DTEK decided to import 210 thousand tons of coal from Poland for a stable heating season. The first batches of coal have already been delivered to Ukraine. Additional quantities of coal are needed to secure ourselves in case of possible shelling by the Rashists.
