DTEK Energy CEO Ildar Saleev announced this. He said preparations for the heating season started with the first warm days and continued intensively.
"The task facing the miners is not easy – to maintain the coal production rates and volumes necessary to maintain the stable operation of Ukrainian thermal power plants amid the war. To do this, they work here day and night. And in April, we launched a new giant longwall with more than 1 million tons of coal reserves. So, the mining work here is not over, at least for the next year and a half,"
said Ildar Saleev.
According to him, miners do everything possible to maximize production at other DTEK Energy mines. Since the beginning of the year, eight new longwalls have already been launched. The plan for May is to establish three more.
"The upcoming winter is not expected to be easier than the previous one for the Ukrainian energy system, so everyone is doing everything possible to ensure that Ukrainians live through it with light and warmth. If we have survived this winter, we will survive anything!"
said Saleev.
