Alternative to coal from Donbas uncontrolled areas is imports of Russian electricity, coal or gas
An alternative to anthracite coal produced in the areas of Donbas that are not under control of the Ukrainian government is imports of Russian electricity or coal and resumption of imports of gas from Russia to launch oil and gas units, Ukrainian Energy and Coal Industry Minister Ihor Nasalyk has said.
"There are two ways to settle the situation: imports from Russia or import Russian gas to oil and gas units," he said on 112 Ukraine TV Channel late on Monday.
He said that at present it is hard to import anthracite from South Africa or Australia as the volumes required for Ukraine have been contracted.
The minister said that the introduction of temporary emergency measures on the electricity market would help to load anthracite-consuming units of thermal power plants as less as possible.
