From November 1, 2021, Russia will stop deliveries of thermal coal to Ukraine.
This was announced by the chairman of the parliamentary committee for energy and housing and communal services Andrei Gerus in his Telegram channel.
He noted that we are talking about grade A (anthracite) and T (lean) coal. Such coal was imported by DTEK (Luganskaya TPP, Krivorozhskaya TPP), Donbasenergo (Slavyanskaya TPP) and Technova (Darnitskaya TPP, Sumskaya TPP, Chernigovskaya TPP).
“According to market participants, the ban does not apply to coking coal, but only applies to coal, which is used for energy needs. Such actions of the Russian Federation are similar to their actions in the fall of 2014”, Gerus said.
