Coal stocks are topping off
Coal-fired power plants and combined heat and power plants have sufficient coal stocks to successfully complete the heating season. According to the Ministry of Energy, over 1 million tons of coal have been accumulated in the warehouses, which is 236 thousand tons more than planned. The main state energy company «Centrenergo» has accumulated over 161 thousand tons more in its warehouses than planned by the end of February. The Ministry of Energy noted that this result was achieved thanks to the joint work of coal mining and energy companies. In addition, thanks to a massive repair campaign in the energy sector, over 2.2 GW of capacity has been restored and added to the power system by the end of 2023. Currently, there are 14 units of generating equipment from thermal and combined heat and power plants in reserve.
