“DTEK Energy” has commissioned all 26 planned coal longwalls

“DTEK Energy has put into operation all 26 coal longwalls planned for this year, DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev said on his Facebook page.

“I can state that thanks to their hard work, the miners have coped with this task this year. We produced as much as we planned. For this purpose, we invested about UAH 7 billion in Ukrainian coal mining during the year, which is almost twice as much as in 2022,” he wrote.

Saleyev also reminded that as part of the “additional airbag” formation, the company has contracted 280 thousand tons of imported thermal coal for the current heating season, and as of today, more than half of it has already been delivered from Poland – almost 150 thousand tons.

“We are not stopping there, because everyone has the same task – to continue to hold the energy front so that Ukrainians have electricity and heat,” summarized the CEO.

“DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity generation from coal. As of January 2022, the installed capacity of thermal power 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.
