DTEK Energo has increased investments in development and modernization of its combined heat and power plants and mines.
In January-August the group invested 3.6 billion UAH, up by 80% YoY.
In particular, investments into DTEK Pavlogradugol and DTEK Dobropolyeugol totaled 2.9 billion UAH. This allowed increasing output of gas coal, which is supposed to completely replace the imported anthracite soon.
Since the beginning of the year the group has put 20 breakage faces into operation and intends to put 13 more.
The combined gas coal output in 8 months reached 15.2 million tons. (Ukrainian metal)
