DTEK Energo’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 1.2 million units of mining equipment from January through September of this year, including 10 new tunnel boring machines and longwall shearers, as well as four electric motors, according to a press release from DTEK Energo.
During this period, they also produced 1.5 million spare parts and components.
As previously reported, over the first nine months of last year, DTEK Energo’s machine-building plants manufactured and repaired 2,500 units of mining equipment (including six new mining combines and one mine fan) and 1.8 million spare parts and components.
“Preparing for winter is a joint effort by the entire energy team. Miners, power engineers, maintenance workers, and machine builders are working as a single unit today, because the energy sector’s readiness for the most challenging period of the year depends on the coordinated efforts of everyone. Machine builders not only manufacture and repair equipment but also test new technical solutions and verify their effectiveness under real production conditions,” DTEK Energo CEO Oleksandr Fomenko is quoted as saying in the press release.
DTEK Energo ensures a closed-loop cycle of coal-fired power generation. By the end of 2025, DTEK Energo had invested 6.7 billion hryvnias in supporting Ukrainian coal mining, and over the previous three years (2022–2024)—more than 18 billion hryvnias. The funds were allocated for the development and repair of mine workings, equipping mining faces, and maintaining the mines’ production capacity.
Its machinery manufacturing assets include Korum DrMZ, which was relocated to Dnipro in 2022; the Kharkiv-based “Svitlo Shakhtarya” plant; and the Pershotravensk Repair and Mechanical Plant.
