Amid the lack of anthracite coal, Slovianska TPP, owned by Donbasenergo, stopped power generation on October 23.
According to NEC Ukrenergo, as of 10:30 Kyiv time, both power units at the TPP, which had been operating in maneuvering mode since 2015, had been put to a halt.
As of the evening of October 22, anthracite coal reserves at the facility were sufficient to cover 24 hours of operation.
Trypillya, Zmiiv, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhia, Burshtyn, Vuhlehirsk and Kurakhiv TPPs all have less than ten-day fuel reserves.
In mid-October, Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK launched emergency coal deliveries to the Slovianska thermal power plant to prevent it from shutting down. Approximately 11,000 tons was shipped, which allowed maintaining operations throughout the week. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
