In January-June this year, DTEK Energy machine builders manufactured and repaired 757 units of mining equipment, including 8 new tunnelling and shearers.
“Machine builders also provided miners with 542,000 spare parts and components,” the energy holding said in a press release on Thursday.
According to the company, such volumes of the required equipment make it possible to continue laying a stronger foundation for the thermal generation to go through the next heating season.
“There are only a few months left before the autumn-winter period. We are strengthening the energy front, which suffers from constant enemy attacks, from all sides. Power engineers are working 24/7 to restore the destroyed and damaged capacities of thermal power plants. Miners are working to meet the fuel needs of thermal power plants. And machine builders are working to ensure that the latter have everything they need,” said DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev, as quoted in the press release.
As reported, in 2023, the company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to about UAH 7 billion, which is almost twice as much as in 2022.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. As of January 2022, the company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW. The company has established a full production cycle in coal mining: coal mining and enrichment, mechanical engineering, and maintenance of mine equipment.
Currently, most of DTEK Group’s thermal generation facilities have been destroyed as a result of Russian attacks.
