The company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining by the end of the year are expected to reach UAH 7.4 billion – twice as much as a year earlier.
In January-November of this year, DTEK Energy commissioned 23 new coal faces, and plans to commission three more in December. The company’s press service reported this on Thursday, December 14.
“To ensure that the thermal generation has enough fuel to operate at its maximum during consumption peaks, especially in winter, the miners of Ukraine work hard throughout the year. By the end of the year, we will have 26 such as commissioned longwalls. All of this is a support for the reliable operation of strategic capabilities, the Ukrainian energy system in general,” the press service quoted the words of Ildar Saleev, General Director of DTEK Energy.
According to the report, DTEK Energy’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining by the end of the year are expected to reach UAH 7.4 billion, or twice as much as in 2022 (UAH 3.8 billion).
Previously, the company reported that it imported 103 thousand tons of coal from Poland, and at the end of the autumn-winter season it plans to import another 177 thousand tons of thermal coal. According to his message, the additional amount of coal will allow the Ukrainian thermal generation and the energy system as a whole to go through the heating period more reliably.
During the 11 months of 2023, DTEK’s thermal power plants generated 13.6 billion kWh of electricity. This quantity is equivalent to the average consumption of approximately 4.5 million families throughout the year.
