As another challenging heating season approaches, DTEK Energy's enterprises continue to produce thermal coal, which is so important for the country.
To this end, in the period from January to September this year, the company's miners commissioned 16 new longwalls, with another 9 planned for the end of the year.
This allows us to meet the fuel needs of thermal power plants during peaks in electricity consumption, accumulate the necessary coal reserves to last through the coming autumn and winter and maintain the reliability of the Ukrainian energy system.
To make this possible, DTEK Energy has invested almost UAH 18 bln of its own funds in Ukrainian coal mining since the start of the full-scale invasion.
The investments were made in the construction and repair of capital mine workings, equipping coal faces, providing mines with tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to maintain production facilities.
