3 October , 2025  

In January-August 2025, DTEK Energy allocated UAH 4.9 billion to the development of coal enterprises, which made it possible to maintain production capacity and introduce modern technologies.

“To maintain an adequate level of coal production, the company continues to prepare new longwalls. Since the beginning of the year, 14 new longwalls have been put into operation, which makes it possible to maintain the necessary volume of fuel production for Ukraine’s thermal power generation,” the company said in a press release.

Since the start of the full-scale war, the company’s investments in supporting mines, repairing and modernizing equipment, and improving staff safety have totaled nearly UAH 23 billion.

“We continue to invest in the restoration of generating capacities and coal enterprises, because our main goal on the eve of the new heating season is to maintain the reliability of thermal power generation and the energy system as a whole,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko.

DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. As of January 2022, the installed capacity in thermal power generation was 13.3 GW. A complete production cycle has been created in coal mining: coal extraction and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
