DTEK Energy’s machine-building enterprises manufactured and repaired 1,039 units of mining equipment in 10 months of 2024.
“The key products include 11 new roadheaders and shearers. The machine builders also met the needs of miners with 831,000 spare parts and components,” the company said in a press release on Friday.
“Power engineers are not giving up and are carrying out restoration work 24/7. Ukrainian miners also continue to work hard to provide thermal generation with the necessary fuel. Machine builders are also at their best, making sure that miners have all the equipment they need to produce coal,” said DTEK Energy CEO Aleksandr Fomenko.
Thanks to the support of machine builders in equipment, the company’s miners have commissioned 18 new longwalls in 10 months of 2024 and plan to commission eight more by the end of the year.
The company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining are expected to reach about UAH 7.6 billion by the end of the year.
As reported, in 2023, the company’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.
Currently, most of DTEK Group’s thermal generation facilities have been destroyed as a result of Russian attacks.
