In January-July this year, DTEK Energy’s miners commissioned 11 new coal faces to meet the fuel needs of thermal power plants during summer peaks and accumulate sufficient reserves for the upcoming heating season, the energy holding said on Tuesday.
“Power engineers are working to restore the damaged and destroyed TPPs as soon as possible. And the miners are doing everything possible to ensure that these facilities have sufficient fuel reserves to cover the summer and winter peaks in electricity consumption,” DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev said in a press release.
According to him, the company is implementing a plan to put 27 new longwalls into operation this year.
“11 have already been commissioned, and we plan to commission another 16 in August and December,” Saleev said.
In 2023, DTEK Energy miners commissioned 26 new longwalls.
As reported, in 2023, the energy holding’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to about UAH 7 billion, which is almost twice as much as in 2022.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. As of January 2022, the company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW. The company has established a full production cycle in coal mining: coal mining and enrichment, mechanical engineering and maintenance of mine equipment.
As reported, DTEK energy holding plans to restore 60-70% of the thermal generation facilities destroyed by Russian attacks by October this year, provided there is no new shelling. Since March of this year, massive missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities have destroyed 90% of its thermal generation.

In 2024, 44 cases of African swine fever (ASF) were recorded in Ukraine, the press service of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Protection (SSUFSCP) reported.
The agency reminded that in Ukraine, since 2008, individuals have been compensated for losses from ASF. Payments in the amount of the cost of live pigs removed from the epizootic focus and protection zone during the outbreak of African swine fever are made by the decision of the State Emergency Anti-Epizootic Commission under the Cabinet of Ministers (Commission) or local state emergency anti-epizootic commissions on the basis of an application and an act of animal removal for the purpose of their destruction during the elimination of especially dangerous (quarantine) diseases.
The Commission or local state emergency antiepizootic commissions send to the territorial body of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection decisions on compensation for property damage (losses), acts of seizure of farm animals, lists of individuals to receive compensation for animals, information on the average market value of 1 kg of purchased live weight of animals of different age and weight groups provided by the relevant structural unit of the regional state administration.
Based on the information received from the territorial bodies of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, funds are transferred to the Treasury for further payment to individuals.
A similar compensation mechanism is in place to compensate poultry owners for damage caused by bird flu. In this case, information on the average market value of 1 head of poultry of different species is taken into account.
The State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection urges animal owners to comply with biosafety requirements and to contact its territorial body at the place of residence (business) or state veterinary institutions in a timely manner in case of detection of the disease or suspicion of it.
“The main thing is to prevent the spread of these diseases,” the agency emphasized.
