DTEK Energy Holding plans to build two wind farms – Tylihulska wind farm LLC (in the territory of Anatolivka, Krasnopillia and Tashyne rural councils of Berezanka district of Mykolaiv region) with a capacity of 500 MW and Tylihulska wind farm 2 LLC (in the territory of Tashyne rural council) with a capacity of 65 MW, according to a register of environmental impact assessment.
Under the Tylihulska wind farm project it is planned to install up to 130 wind turbines with a capacity of 3.9-6 MW 700-1,500 meters far from each other. The height of the tower is 105-157 meters.
In addition, it is planned to build up to 10 110/35 kV substations, a 35 kV and /or 110 kV overhead power line of 100 km long, as well as 35 kV and /or 110 kV underground power lines of 150 km long.
The total construction area will be 35,000 ha.
Under the Tylihulska wind farm 2 project it is planned to install up to 17 turbines with a capacity of 3.9-6 MW 700-1,500 meters far from each other. The height of the tower is 105-157 meters. It is also planned to build a 35 kV and /or 110 kV overhead power line of 20 km long, as well as 35 kV and /or 110 kV underground power lines of 40 km long.
The total construction area will be 3,000 ha.
DTEK Energy plans to increase production of coal in Ukraine by 5-7% in 2018 compared to 2017, 24-24.6 million tonnes, The company’s CEO Dmytro Sakharuk told journalists. “This year, we plan to produce more than 24 million tonnes of rough coal,” he said.
According to him, coal imports by DTEK in 2018 are expected at up to 2 million tonnes, including about 1 million tonnes from DTEK’s anthracite mines in Russia’s Rostov region for Luhanska thermal power plant, and another 1 million tonnes for Kryvorizka thermal power plant, which also consumes anthracite.
In addition, DTEK intends to export about 5 billion kWh of electricity in 2018, which corresponds to the figures of the previous year.
DTEK Energy, which was created in 2005 as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s System Capital Management, is a key player in the Ukrainian coal industry. DTEK Energy assets are represented by 16 mines and 5 coal-processing plants. Total coal production in 2016 amounted to 29.2 million tonnes, accounting for about 70% of total production in Ukraine.
