Since February 2022, DTEK Energy’s coal mining, energy and machine-building enterprises have provided jobs for more than 3.8 thousand internally displaced people.
As the company said in a press release on Wednesday, more than 80% of those employed joined DTEK Energy’s coal mining companies. Most of them did not have a mining specialty and were retrained on the job. There are also many young people among the new employees who got their first job at Ukrainian mines.
“As a reliable partner and responsible employer, we systematically support the communities of the regions where our enterprises are located. We are always ready to accommodate people who have been forced to move,” said DTEK Energy CEO Aleksandr Fomenko.
“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.
In January, DTEK Energy’s coal mining enterprises commissioned the first two new longwalls this year, the energy holding said in a press release on Wednesday.
“We have to think not only about this heating season, but also prepare for the summer consumption peaks and the next winter. We are working as a team – power engineers, miners and machine builders. We are already commissioning coal longwalls to ensure a stable supply of resources for our TPPs,” said DTEK Energy CEO Oleksandr Fomenko.
In 2024, the company’s investments in Ukrainian coal mining amounted to UAH 7.5 billion. These funds were spent on the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completion of coal faces, equipping mines with tunneling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to maintain production facilities.
As reported, DTEK Energy’s 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 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’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 commissioned 16 new longwalls in January-September 2024, the company’s press service said on Friday.
According to the press service, the company’s miners plan to commission nine more longwalls by the end of the year.
“This allows us to meet the fuel needs of thermal power plants at the peak of electricity consumption, accumulate the necessary coal reserves for the autumn-winter period and maintain the reliability of the Ukrainian power system,” the statement said.
In total, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, DTEK Energy has invested almost UAH 18 billion of its own funds in Ukrainian coal mining.
The investments were directed to the construction and repair of capital mine workings, completion of coal longwalls, equipping mines with tunneling equipment, underground mine transport and projects to maintain production facilities.
As reported, in 2023, DTEK Energy commissioned 26 new longwalls.

“Corum Druzhkovka Machine-Building Plant (Corum DrMZ), a part of Corum Group (DTEK Energy), will repair three roadheaders for DTEK Energy miners in the first quarter of 2025, the company said.
“We have already received three new orders for the repair of KPD-22 roadheaders for Ternovskaya, Samarskaya and Geroyev Kosmosa mines,” the company’s Facebook page says.
The plant also reports that by the end of this year, it will complete the overhaul of two shearers for Belozerskaya mine and one for Zapadno-Donbasskaya mine.
“Corum DrMZ, relocated to Dnipro in 2022, manufactured 46 units of mining equipment in July this year to order for DTEK Energy mines, including a skip, a reloader, six suspension devices and 38 loading trolleys. The company also produced 20 unified wheelsets and 72.9 thousand spare parts and components.
According to Opendatabot, in 2023, the plant earned UAH 500 million in net profit, compared to a loss of UAH 453 million a year earlier, with net income increasing 2.7 times to UAH 1 billion 530 million.
Corum Group is a leading manufacturer of mining equipment in Ukraine. It is a part of DTEK Energy, the operating company responsible for coal mining and coal-fired power generation within Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK energy holding.
In January-July, the machine builders produced, among other things, 9 new roadheaders and shearers.
