4 May , 2023  

“DTEK Energy plans to launch three new longwalls in May in addition to the eight that have already been put into operation since the beginning of 2023, the energy holding said.
“DTEK Energy’s miners continue to work on supplying Ukrainian thermal power plants with coal. To this end, they have put eight new faces into operation since the beginning of the year. We plan to launch three more as early as May,” he pointed out in his Telegram channel on Wednesday.
According to the company, one of the faces has a stockpile of more than 1 million tons, which will come in handy in preparation for next winter.
“DTEK miners are making every effort to ensure that Ukraine’s generation is supplied with coal,” the energy holding said.
As reported, in 2022 coal miners of the company put into operation 28 new faces.
“In order to pass the heating season more reliably, DTEK Energy supported with fuel not only its own thermal power plants, but also found an opportunity to help state-owned ones. At the end of last year, more than 120 thousand tons of coal were shipped for their needs,” the energy holding said in March 2023.
