Background
Troyanovo 1 Coal Mine (рудник Трояново 1) 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 1, Troyanovo 3 and Troyanovo-North 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 1 Coal Mine
In 9 months 2022, production from the mine reached 12.1 million tonnes.[6] Total 2022 production of the Maritsa Coal Mines reached 34.2 Mt, up from 27Mt in 2021.[7] With no individual break-down per mine for 2022, based on 9m 2022 data, it is estimated that Troyanovo 1 coal mine contributed 16.3 million tonnes.
However production slumped in 2023 and the company reported 9m 2023 production at 4.8Mt in the 9-month period of 2023.[8] Lower overall electricity demand, lower electricity exports and the up-take of renewables in the country contributed to this. The participation of (coal-fired) base plants in the country's energy balance decreased by 26.53% over January-August 2023.[9]
Most of the coal produced was supplied to Maritsa Itzok-2 power station[6].
