Background
Troyanovo-North Coal Mine (рудник Трояново-Север) is a SURFACE mine located near Lyubenovo, Stara Zagora Province, Bulgaria.
The mine is part of the Maritsa Coal Mines which includes 3 mines (Troyanovo-North, Troyanovo 1 Coal Mine and Troyanovo 3 Coal Mine). Maritsa Coal Mines account for about 96% of Bulgaria's coal production. The mines are part of the Maritsa Iztok Complex and provide coal to the Maritsa Iztok-1 Power Station, Maritsa Iztok-2 Power Station, Maritsa Iztok-3 Power Station and Brikel power station. Most of the information and updates available are jointly for the three mines. Please refer to Maritsa Coal Mines for more background information.
Troyanovo-North Mine
Troyanovo-North mine is located in the northern part of the Maritsa Iztok coalfield. To the north lies the deposit boundary and to its south the Troyanovo-1 mine.[6]
In November 2019, two new bucket-wheel excavators- KWK 2000 and KWK 400L - were transferred for operation to Troyanovo-North mine. The project value was EUR 25.8 million and it was financed by the Company's own contribution of 50% and a grant of 50% received from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development under the Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund.[6]
In 9 months 2022, production from the mine reached 5.9 million tonnes.[7] 2.1 million was sold to Brikel power station and 3.8 million tonnes to Maritsa Iztok-1 power station.
Total 2022 production of the Maritsa Coal Mines reached 34.2 Mt, up from 27Mt in 2021.[8] With no individual break-down per mine for 2022, based on 9m 2022 data, it is estimated that Troyanovo-North coal mine contributed 3 million tonnes.
However production slumped in 2023 with 9m 2023 level at 3.7 Mt.[9]
