About coal mining
DTEK Energy’s coal mining businesses supply Ukrainian thermal coal to the company’s power generation operations.
They comprise 8 mines grouped into 4 mine management units in the Dnipropetrovsk region: Pershotravenske, Dniprovske, Ternivske and Heroiv Kosmosu. One other mine in the Donetsk region was shut down due to hostilities, while two coal preparation plants in the region were destroyed by enemy shelling.
Miners produce coal and develop new longwall faces to maintain the production volumes required by thermal power generation.
The company invests in mine development, equipment, transport and occupational safety to keep its businesses operating under heavy workloads and wartime conditions.
DTEK Energy continues to invest in Ukrainian coal production
Developing new longwall faces takes months of work by miners, mine development crews and engineers. This work underpins future coal production and the fuel supply to thermal power plants.
To support mine operations, DTEK Energy upgrades and repairs mining equipment, develops underground infrastructure and maintains the production capacity it needs.
During the war, coal mining businesses continue operating in challenging conditions, supplying fuel for DTEK Energy’s thermal power generation.
