In January and February this year, DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured and repaired almost 505 units of mining equipment, including two new shearers for mining operations.
The energy holding said in a press release on Tuesday that machine builders also supported the needs of miners with more than 330,000 spare parts and components.
“Power engineers are working non-stop to restore capacities after the shelling, while miners are supporting sufficient fuel needs of thermal generation. And machine builders are working hard to provide them with equipment, spare parts and everything they need for coal mining,” said DTEK Energy CEO Aleksandr Fomenko.
In January, DTEK Energy’s miners commissioned the first two new coal faces this year.
In 2024, the company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to UAH 7.5 billion. These funds were spent on the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completion of coal longwalls, mine tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and production capacity support projects.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. The company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW as of January 2022. 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.
