Such a statement he made during an hour of questions to the government.

"There is no coal deficit in Ukraine, there is a surplus - despite the fact that the country has reduced the consumption of anthracite by half," said Nasalik.

He recalled that the state-owned PJSC "Centrenergo" is obliged to purchase coal from the extraction of state mines for its stations.

According to the Ukrainian Minister, if this protocol is implemented, there will be no comments on the supply of coal from the gas group at the station. However, in the event that it is not carried out, its department will make a decision to still fulfill it.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform", the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on the program of financing for the modernization of mining equipment. At the moment, the government has already fully formed a program to provide state guarantees for the renovation of the tools of the miner.
