15 August , 2025  

In January-July of this year, DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 1,992 units of mining equipment, including four new combines for mining operations, according to a press release from the company.

In addition, 1.4 million spare parts and components were manufactured.

As reported, in the first seven months of 2024, machine builders manufactured nine combines and 618,000 spare parts for mines.

“DTEK Energy’s machine builders continue to be a reliable source of important equipment for Ukrainian mines. Thanks to their work, coal mining companies can operate more reliably, maintain production, and energy companies can more confidently get through summer peak loads and prepare for the upcoming heating season,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko, as quoted in the report.

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.

DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. 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.
