KYIV, Jan 25 – Coal reserves in the warehouses of Ukrainian thermal power plants (TTPs) as of January 25 amounted to 455,000 tons, which is a record minimum, and does not ensure the energy security of the country, Chief Operation Officer at NPC Ukrenergo Vitaliy Zaichenko said at a meeting of the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC) on Monday.

"Unfortunately, the warehouses of coal-fired power plants are depleted to a level that is probably the lowest for the entire period of Ukraine's independence,” Zaichenko said.
