To prepare thermal power generation for the next heating season, DTEK Energy miners commissioned nine new coal faces in January–July this year. Two of them were put into operation in July.
‘The load on TPPs traditionally increases in summer and during the heating season, so it is important for us to build up fuel reserves in advance and maintain a stable rhythm of operation. This requires careful planning and consistency at all stages. Therefore, we continue to regularly launch new longwalls to more reliably supply coal for thermal power generation. At the same time, we are continuing to restore our energy infrastructure, which was damaged as a result of enemy attacks. Our main task is to ensure the reliability of thermal generation in extremely challenging conditions,’ emphasised DTEK Energy CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.
Since the beginning of 2025, DTEK Energy has invested more than UAH 2.9 billion of its own funds in Ukrainian mines. In total, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the company's investments in Ukrainian coal mining have amounted to over UAH 21.4 billion. They were allocated for the construction and repair of capital mine workings, equipping coal faces, providing mines with tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to support production capacities.
