Background

Irbeysky Coal Mine (Ирбейский разрез) is an operating surface mine in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Irbeysky coal mine is owned and operated by Irbeysky Razrez LLC, which in turn owned by Vostsibugol. In 2021 Vostsibugol acquired a sole ownership of Irbeysky Razrez LLC. Vostsibugol is 100% owned by EN+ Group.

Information available on Vostsibugol mines is very limited.

Coal from the mine is transported to power stations in Irkutsk, with some mine being consumed domestically in the local area.

Irbeysky coal mine employs more than 430 people. The main consumer of coal is Baikal Energy Company (90%), which also belongs to EN+ Group.

In 2021 the coal mine has achieved a 35 million tonne production benchmark since starting its operations in 2000. In the first half of 2022, the mine produced 1.394 million tonnes of coal.
