In January-April this year, DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 1,136 pieces of mining equipment, including three new combines for mining operations.
According to a press release issued by the energy holding company on Tuesday, the machine builders also supplied mines with over 735,000 spare parts and components.
“We are already actively preparing for the next autumn-winter period. Our main task is to get through it as reliably as possible. To this end, our machine builders are providing miners with the necessary equipment and hundreds of thousands of spare parts, on which the reliability of coal production depends, and therefore the operation of thermal power generation, especially during peak electricity consumption,” DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko is quoted as saying in the press release.
According to Korum Druzhkivka Machine Building Plant, one of DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets, in January-April it manufactured 106 units of GSH (including 34 in April), repaired two KPD combines, and produced over 286,000 components.
According to a press release, DTEK Energy miners have put five coal longwall faces into operation since the beginning of the year.
As reported, in 2024, the company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to UAH 7.5 billion, and over the last three years (2022-2024) – UAH 18 billion. The funds were allocated for the construction and repair of capital mine workings, the completion of coal longwall panels, the equipping of mines with tunneling equipment, underground mine transport, and projects to support production capacities.
DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of coal-fired power generation. As of January 2022, the company’s installed thermal generation capacity was 13.3 GW. A full production cycle has been established in coal mining: coal extraction and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
