The Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine is planning to commence privatization of mines in April 2015, said First Deputy Minister for Energy Yury Zuikov during the on-site visit to Trypillia thermal power plant, RBK-Ukraine (РБК-Україна) reports.
“We are conducting the pre-privatization process, and I think we’ll put on a few mines in April for privatization. The mines, mostly those in the Lviv-Volyn coal basin, will be privatized”, - said Zuikov.
It is worth noting that the mines in Lviv-Volyn basin reportedly extract Г-labelled coal (gas).
Zuikov also noted that elaboration of the privatization plan is now underway.
“We want to prepare all existing mines for privatization - all 35 mines, and put them on privatization. I’m saying only about the mines located in the territory under control“, - added the Deputy Minister.
