UKRAINIAN POWER PLANTS INCREASE HIGH-VOLATILE COAL CONSUMPTION IN NOVEMBER

摘要

Ukrainian thermal power plants increased high-volatile coal intake by 14% month-on-month to 1.85 million t in November due to higher capacity use amid a seasonal fall in temperature. In January-November, power plants burned 18.3 million t of high-volatile coal, up 8% year-on-year. The increase is related to redistribution of load from anthracite-based facilities and a launch of power-gen- erating units converted to gas coal usage. Prydniprovska TPP commissioned the upgraded power unit No.9 in early November, while unit No.10 is expected to be launched in December. The installed capacity of either power unit is 150 MW.
