Since the beginning of the year, DTEK has invested nearly UAH 5 billion in coal mining to ensure a more reliable passage through the upcoming heating season. As reported by the PromPolitInform portal, the company announced this on its corporate website.
“From January to August 2025, DTEK Energy directed UAH 4.9 billion toward the development of coal enterprises, which made it possible to maintain production capacity and introduce modern technologies. In total, since the start of the full-scale war, the company’s investments in supporting mines, repairing and modernizing equipment, as well as in measures to improve personnel safety, have amounted to nearly UAH 23 billion,” the company said in a statement.
According to DTEK, 14 new coal longwalls have been put into operation since the beginning of the year, making it possible to maintain the required volume of fuel extraction for thermal power generation.
“Despite wartime risks, our people carry out work every day that ensures light and warmth in the homes of millions of Ukrainians. We continue to invest in restoring generating capacity and in coal enterprises, because our main goal ahead of the new heating season is to preserve the reliability of thermal generation and the energy system as a whole,” said Oleksandr Fomenko, CEO of DTEK Energy.
The company also reported that since the beginning of the year, DTEK’s coal enterprises have paid more than UAH 9.7 billion in taxes to budgets at all levels.
