To help thermal generation prepare for peak summer demand and the upcoming heating season, DTEK Energy has commissioned five new coal faces year-to-date – two of them in April alone.
“The energy sector is still recovering from large-scale enemy attacks, and our priority remains unchanged: to ensure the reliability of the energy grid. We know that thermal generation will be especially critical during the summer and throughout the heating season. Fuel extraction requires careful planning and consistent execution to meet this demand. Launching new coal faces lays the foundation for stable production and, in turn, reliable generation capacity, especially during consumption peaks,” said Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy.
DTEK Energy invested about UAH 7.5 billion in Ukrainian coal production in 2024. Over 2022-2024, the company has invested a total of UAH 18 billion. These funds were allocated for the development and renovation of key underground mining operations, equipping new coal faces, upgrading mining machinery and underground transport, as well as implementing projects to sustain and expand production capacity.
