The Donetsk Regional State Administration leadership is ready to enter negotiations to stabilize the Sloviansk TPP operations and resolve conflict issues through a dialog between PJSC Donbasenergo and PJSC Donetskoblgaz.

The negotiations are confirmed by Pavlo Kyrylenko, Head of Donetsk Regional State Administration in his message to the Sloviansk Thermal Power Plant and Novogrodivska Mine No. 1-3 employees who picketed the Regional Administration building on July 8, 2020.

According to him, in the immediate future a task meeting will be convened with the heads of both organizations to consider solutions to address the gas supply shortage for the Sloviansk TPP.

In the meantime, until the date and time of the "round table" are finally set, the picket of Sloviansk TPP employees in front on the Donetskoblgaz and the Regional State Administration buildings goes on.

For reference: As of July 01, 2020, 60.86% holder of PJSC Donbasenergo is ENERGOINVEST HOLDING Private Joint Stock Company, 25% + 1 share are held by the state represented by the State Property Fund of Ukraine.

PJSC Donbasenergo unites two power plants: Sloviansk and Starobesho TPP (the latter has been located in the territory beyond the control of Ukraine since 2014). Since March 2017, due to the loss of control over the temporarily occupied Donetsk region, annual performance indicators of assets located there are not included in Donbasenergo consolidated records of accounts.

The total installed capacity of Sloviansk TPP is 880 MW.
