With the commencement of the third heating season amid a full-scale war, DTEK enterprises continue to extract vital energy coal for the country. Over the past 10 months of this year, the company's miners have put 18 new coal faces into operation. An additional eight are planned to be launched in November and December.
"Thanks to the efforts of our miners, we are able to accumulate the necessary coal reserves for the autumn-winter period and meet the fuel needs of thermal power plants during peak electricity consumption. To make this possible, we have invested over 6.5 billion UAH in domestic coal mining since the beginning of the year, and we plan to increase these investments to 7.6 billion UAH by the end of the year," said Alexander Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy.
The investments have been directed towards the repair of capital mining workings, equipping coal faces, outfitting mines with tunneling equipment, underground mining transport, and projects to support production capacities.
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, DTEK, owned by Rinat Akhmetov, has invested 17 billion UAH in the mines.
