DTEK, Ukraine's largest vertically integrated energy holding, has decided to merge operations on the supply of electricity, coal and gas within DTEK-Trading.
The holding’s chief legal adviser, Olha Mamedova, said this at a
meeting of the National Commission for Energy Regulation (NCER) in Kyiv
on Thursday.
“A decision was made that one company will perform operations with energy resources, including coal and electricity,” she said.
In addition, the NCER decided to provide DTEK-Trading with a license
to supply electricity in volumes of up to 16.3 billion kilowatt-hours
per year at an unregulated tariff, as well as a license to supply up to 6
billion cubic meters of gas per year.
According to Mamedova, DTEK-Trading will export electricity to
Belarus, the Russian Federation, Poland, Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia.
Today DTEK-Vostokenergo and DTEK Power Trade, which are part of DTEK, perform these operations.
In addition, DTEK-Trading will supply gas to DTEK power plants.
“This gas will be used to generate electricity, but not heat,” she said.
According to her, DTEK-Trading will buy gas from Ukrainian Oil and Gas Company LLC.
As of today, DTEK-Trading supplies coal in Ukraine.
