Year to Date, DTEK Energy’s Mechanical Engineers Have Manufactured 10 New Shearers and 683 Thousand Spare Parts To Support Ukrainian Coal Production

In the run-up to the start of the new heating season, DTEK Energy's machine-building companies continue to help miners extract coal that is important for the country and prepare thermal power generation for winter.

In the first eight months of 2024, our mechanical engineers manufactured and repaired 884 units of underground mining equipment. Key products include 10 new roadheaders and shearers.

The machine building companies also supplied 683 thousand spare parts and components to address the needs of miners.

This will help to improve the reliability of Ukrainian thermal power plants over the coming winter by providing them with sufficient fuel.

‘The heating season is just over a month away. It will be another challenge for all of us. That is why we are mobilising all resources to reinforce the energy front. Power engineers are restoring the TPPs 24/7, and miners are mining coal to ensure reliable operation of power plants. And mechanical engineers are doing their best to ensure that coal mining enterprises are provided with all the necessary equipment,’ said DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Salieiev.

 For reference:

In the period from January to August this year, DTEK Energy miners commissioned 14 new longwalls, with another 12 planned for the end of the year. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the company has invested UAH 17 bln of its own funds in Ukrainian coal mining. The investments were made in the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completing coal faces, equipping mines with tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to maintain production facilities.
