DTEK Energy machine builders manufactured and repaired almost 1.1 thousand units of mining equipment in 2024.
“The key products include 11 new roadheaders and shearers,” the energy holding said in a press release on Tuesday.
The machine builders also provided more than a million spare parts and components to meet the needs of miners.
“Reliability of the energy sector and the heating season largely depend on the coordination and daily work of everyone. Ukrainian machine builders continue to make a significant contribution to this by supporting miners and Ukrainian coal mining,” said DTEK Energy CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.
As reported, last year DTEK Energy’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to about UAH 7.5 billion and were directed to the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completion of coal faces, provision of mine tunnelling equipment, underground mine transport and production capacity support projects.
“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. The company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW as of January 2022. 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.
