In January 2026, DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured and repaired 161 units of mining equipment, as well as produced over 160,000 spare parts and components for it, according to a press release from DTEK Energy.
“In the midst of the heating season, DTEK Energy’s machine builders continue to work intensively to provide Ukrainian mines with the necessary equipment and spare parts for more reliable coal mining,” the statement said.
At the same time, DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko noted that the beginning of the year was extremely difficult for the company and the entire Ukrainian energy sector.
“Despite this, we have already gone through two-thirds of the most difficult military winter in the last four years. Together with energy workers, repairmen, and miners, our machine builders are working in an enhanced mode, providing mines with the necessary equipment and spare parts,” Fomenko said in a press release.
As reported, in January 2025, DTEK Energy’s machine builders manufactured a new roadheader, delivered nearly 300 GSH units to miners, and manufactured over 150,000 spare parts.
In turn, Korum Druzhkivka Machine Building Plant, which is part of DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets, also noted on its Facebook page that January was a difficult month for production: the plant started the year in difficult conditions, with limited capacity utilization and a high proportion of small but critically important jobs.
“At the same time, Korum Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant maintained process control and adapted its production plans to the real situation,” the statement said.
Throughout January, the plant focused primarily on the manufacture of components and spare parts, producing a total of 57,280 components, spare parts, and metal structures. In addition, six GSH units were produced: trolleys and a mine winch.
“Part of the production operations in January was aimed at forming a backlog for February. Already this month, it is planned to repair the KPD combine harvester, as well as manufacture freight and passenger trolleys,” the plant reports.
As reported, in January 2025, the plant shipped 10 units of GSO and 36 thousand components and spare parts to customers. The commercial production included trolleys, anchors, fire hoses, and high-pressure hoses. Large metal structures for DTEK Energy’s enrichment plants were also produced.
DTEK Energy’s machine-building assets include the Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant (relocated to Dnipro), the Svitlo Shakhtaria Plant in Kharkiv, and the Pershotravensk Machine-Building Plant.
DTEK Energy provides a closed cycle of electricity production from coal. The installed capacity in thermal power generation is 13.3 GW (as of January 2022). A complete production cycle has been created in coal mining: coal mining and enrichment, machine building, and maintenance of mining equipment.
By the end of 2025, DTEK Energy had invested UAH 6.7 billion in supporting Ukrainian coal mining, and over the previous three years (2022-2024) — more than UAH 18 billion. The funds were used to construct and repair mine workings, equip longwalls, and support the production capacities of mines.
The DTEK Group is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, with 55,000 employees and over EUR12 billion in capital invested since 2005. It is wholly owned by SCM Holdings, with Rinat Akhmetov as the ultimate beneficiary and sole shareholder.
