Background
The Komsomolets Donbassa coal mine is an underground coal mine in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. The Komsomolets Donbassa coal mine is an underground coal mine.
In November 2014, an artillery shell from the Donbass conflict landed at the mine, which at the time was at the front line of the conflict; it killed a foreman and injured two miners.[5][6]
The coal mine used to be owned by DTEK Energy, but in 2017 was seized by pro-Russian separatists.[7] It is now under control of the State enterprise under the Ministry of Energy of the unrecognized Donetsk People's Republic.
As of 2013, the mine was was producing 4.5 MT per year.[8][9] The same capacity level was stated in a Russian media source from 2023.[10] A Russian industry report from 2020 referred to the mine's capacity of 3.9 Mt with average production over the last 3 years (2017-2019) at 2.48Mt.[11]
In June 2023, the mine launched a new longwall and was supplying coal to Starobesheve power station.[12]
In July 2024, the mine produced 100th million tonne.[13] (this translates to average production of about 2.3 million tonnes per year during its 44-year history).
Coal Mines in Donetsk Republic
Production of coal in the unrecognized Donetsk People's Republic was about 3 million tonnes in 2022, which was about 2-2.5 lower than in 2018-2019.[10] About 3 million tonnes was also extracted in 2023, with a plan to increase production to 3.5 million tonnes in 2024.[14]
As of 2023, most of the coal is used for the seized Starobesheve power station and Zuevskaya power station. In the future it may also be used for Zuevskaya power station and Vuglegirska power station.[10]
Prior to the accession of the Donetsk Republic and the Lugansk Republic to Russian Federation in 2022, there were 114 coal mines in the in the stage of conservation or liquidation. Russia's Ministry of Energy decided to keep 15 operational in Donetsk and Lugansk republics.[15]
