9 July , 2025  

DTEK Energy’s machine-building enterprises manufactured and repaired 1,707 units of mining equipment in January-June 2025, including four new roadheaders for mining, according to the energy holding’s press service.

According to a press release on Tuesday, machine builders also manufactured 1.2 million spare parts and components.

As reported, in the first half of 2024, 757 units of mining equipment were manufactured and repaired, including eight new roadheaders and cleaning combines.

At the same time, 542,000 spare parts and components were produced. “DTEK Energy’s machine builders are actively manufacturing equipment and providing miners with the necessary spare parts.

This allows Ukrainian mines to steadily extract coal so that thermal power generation can confidently get through the summer peak loads and enter the next heating season more reliably,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko in a press release.

DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets include the Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant (relocated to Dnipro in 2022), the Svitlo Shakhtaria plant in Kharkiv, and the Pershotravne RMB.

As reported, in the first half of 2025, DTEK Energy invested UAH 2.9 billion in Ukrainian coal mining, while in 2024, investments in Ukrainian mines amounted to about UAH 7.5 billion, and over the last three years (2022-2024) – UAH 18 billion.

Since the beginning of this year, DTEK Energy miners have put seven new coal seams into operation.

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 complete production cycle has been established in coal mining: coal extraction and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
