DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 2,050 pieces of mining equipment in January-August this year, including six new roadheaders, according to the company’s press release. In addition, 1.7 million spare parts and components were manufactured.
“We continue to consistently strengthen the reliability of thermal power generation in wartime conditions,” DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko is quoted as saying in the statement.
The press release notes that the company’s machine builders have recently begun serial production of Ukrainian electric motors for GSO, which completely replace expensive imported equipment.
The new motors, with a capacity of 75 to 200 kW, are designed for cleaning combines, belt conveyors, and pumping stations.
“They have already received certificates for climate compliance and explosion protection. In terms of quality, they are a full-fledged analogue of expensive foreign equipment. But now they are Ukrainian and more affordable. This result is the culmination of three years of work by machine builders,” the statement said.
As reported, in the first half of 2025, DTEK Energy invested UAH 2.9 billion in Ukrainian coal mining, and in 2024, investments in Ukrainian mines amounted to about UAH 7.5 billion, and over the last three years (2022-2024) – UAH 18 billion.
Since the beginning of this year, DTEK Energy miners have put seven new coal seams into operation. DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. The company’s installed capacity in thermal generation as of January 2022 was 13.3 GW.
A complete production cycle has been created in coal mining: coal extraction and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
