Lvivugol welcomes the increase of coal price for power-generating companies and combined heat and power plants.
“I am sure that coal mined in Ukraine should not cost less than that purchased in other countries. If the difference in prices is removed, this will provide for the stable development of the mining industry and would stimulate manufacture. As coal is a major part of the power resource of Ukraine, this will become a good basis for the energy independence of our country”, Lvivugol CEO Oleg Akimov said.
In late August the Ministry of energy and coal industry decided to increase coal price for power-generating companies and combined heat and power plants to 2200 UAH per ton (without VAT or transportation expenses). (Ukrainian metal)
