This is reported by the "Government portal".

According to Nasalik, he raised this issue during a meeting with experts of the reform of the RDP Energy Sector under the Government-Public Initiative "Together Against Corruption".

At that time, the Minister of Energy stressed that their task was not primarily to diversify supplies of anthracite, but to replace it.

"To replace the scarce anthracite coal from 2016, a pilot project for the transfer of power units No. 2 and No. 5 of Zmiev TPP of PJSC" Centrenergo "to a gas coal group is underway," stressed Nasalik.

By the way, the Ministry of Energy has a clear schedule for the transfer of power units to the coal gas group and controls its compliance.

The corresponding actions of the authorities by the end of 2018 will allow to replace about 6 million tons of anthracite, and by the end of 2019 to refuse coal of anthracite group.

Recall, as previously reported "URA-Inform", the problem of coal deficit in our country, the government will decide on the import.
