DTEK Energy has invested UAH 17 billion in Ukrainian coal mining since the start of the full-scale war
Investments were directed to the construction and repair of permanent mine workings, completion of coal longwalls, installation of excavating equipment in mines, underground mine transportation, and production capacity maintenance projects.
The funds invested allow to maintain the fuel reserves necessary for the operation of thermal generation during the most difficult winters and peaks in electricity consumption, as well as to continue to prepare for the upcoming heating season.
“These are not the best times for thermal generation, to put it mildly. 90% of its facilities have been destroyed or damaged by enemy attacks. However, no matter how difficult it is, we are investing all available resources to repair and restore thermal power plants and provide them with the necessary fuel supplies. This is our contribution to the support and maintenance of the energy frontline of the country”, said Ildar Salieiev, CEO at DTEK Energy.
For reference
DTEK Energy miners plan to put 27 new longwalls into operation this year. Since the beginning of the year, 11 have already been put into operation, and another 16 are planned for August and December. In 2023, 26 new coal longwalls were put into operation by the company's miners.
