The DTEK’s share in the total coal output in Ukraine reached 25.2%

In the third quarter, the coal produced by the company’s mines reached 4.7m tonnes, a 7.3% year-on-year increase. Further, thermal coal mining grew considerably (by 17.6%) to deliver 4.2m tonnes. As a result, DTEK's share in Ukraine’s total coal extraction during the quarter was 25.2%. 
The increase in coal output at Pavlogradugol OJSC was delivered first by introduction of new and innovative mining equipment, including a plough manufactured by Bucyrus DBT Europe GmbH, highly productive Ostroj sets and TMachinery shearers.  Furthermore, several large-scale investment projects have been completed at Pavlogradugol’s mines, including: the replacement of the main fans at both Geroyev Kosmosa mine and Stepnaya mine; the purchase of five KSP-33 roadheaders and one GKPS roadheader; and the purchase of three surface tracks for Zapadno-Donbasskaya, Samarskaya and Blagodatnaya mines. DTEK also continues to upgrade the production capacity at Komsomolets Donbassa mine. During the quarter, it purchased belt conveyors, KSP-32, a roadheader and a 1K101U shearer.
Positive trends in the coal mining business resulted in coal processing volumes also rising  – production of concentrate increased by to 2.1m tonnes.
During the period, several large-scale investment projects were implemented at the Company’s coal processing businesses, including the commissioning of a conveyor gallery №8 at Pavlogradskaya Coal Preparation Plant, completion of the installation of new centrifuges at Dobropolskaya CPP and replacement of a jig at Kurakhovskaya CPP.
