Business news from Ukraine

In January-May this year, DTEK Energo’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 606 units of mining equipment, including seven new roadheaders and shearers.
“Machine-builders also provided miners with 450 thousand spare parts and components,” the energy holding company said in a press release on Friday.
As the company noted, such volumes of necessary manufactured equipment allow it to continue laying a stronger foundation for the thermal generation to pass the next heating season.
“Debris removal and restoration work at thermal power plants damaged by the attacks continues 24/7. Everyone is working in their place. Miners and machine builders are also in their places. Miners – to extract enough coal for reliable operation of thermal power plants. And machine builders – to make sure that miners always have everything they need,” said Ildar Saleev, CEO of DTEK Energy, quoted in the press release.
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 Energo” provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. As of January 2022, the company’s installed capacity in thermal generation amounted to 13.3 GW. A full production cycle has been created in coal mining: coal extraction and preparation, machine building and servicing of mining equipment.
