Only 18% of Ukrainian state mines work without losses.
The cost of coal, which is a part of the electricity production tariff, is 1730 UAH per ton.
“At present the gas-generating coal is sold at 1730 UAH per ton, but on the Ukraine-controlled territory there are now only 4 mines that fall under this price”, the energy and coal industry minister Igor Nasalik said.
Ukraine has at least 18 mines, which operate with expenses exceeding 1730 UAH per ton of coal. In particular, the prime cost of coalmining at Buzhanskaya mine (Lvivugol) is 2800 UAH per ton. (Ukrainian metal)
