(MENAFN) Ukraine’s coal reserves in the heating season unprecedentedly surpassed the numbers of the previous year, reported Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Utilities, Andriy Herus, in reference to its Telegram site.
The update included, “On Friday, January 14, coal stocks in the warehouses of TPPs and CHPPs for the first time during this autumn-winter period exceeded coal stocks reported on the same date last year. As of January 14, 2022, there was 734,100 tonnes in the warehouses against 711,100 tonnes last year.”
He further mentioned that, since the start of winter, coal reserves in the underground storages of thermal energy factories and integrated heat and energy factories climbed by 51 percent, or 248,000 tonnes.
“One of the main factors in this trend was coal imports, including maritime: as of January 14, the DTEK operator received seven vessels and Centrenergo – four vessels carrying thermal coal; as well as power imports and higher generation by Energoatom (nuclear operator - ed.), which allowed to save coal,” said Herus.
