Ukraine's extraction of coal dropped 10% year on year to 2.78 million mt in November from 3.09 million mt in November 2017, the energy and coal industry ministry reported Tuesday.

It was also down from 2.84 million mt produced in October.
In January through November, Ukraine extracted 30.46 million mt of coal, down 4.7% from 31.96 million mt in the same period a year ago, the ministry said.

Coal extraction in government-controlled parts of the Donetsk region decreased 3% on the year to 10.15 million mt in January-November, while production in the Luhansk region plummeted by 72.1% to 458,200 mt.

Meanwhile, production in the Dnipropetrovsk region rose 0.2% to 18.36 million mt, coal extraction in the Lviv region increased 2.8% to 1.45 million mt, while output in the Volyn region fell 9.1% to 94,700 mt.

State-owned mines extracted 3.79 million mt of coal in January-November, down 14.3% from 4.42 million mt a year ago.

As domestic production of coal declined, thermal power plants and heat producers have stepped up imports of coal, mostly from Russia and the US.

Ukraine imported 17.43 million mt of coal, including anthracite, in January-October, up 15.6% from 15.08 million mt imported a year ago.

The country's thermal power plants and heat producers increased consumption of coal by 4.3% on the year, or by 863,000 mt, to 20.91 million mt in January through October, compared with 20.05 million mt consumed in January-October 2017.

In October alone, power plants and heat producers consumed 2.1 million mt of coal, down from 2.48 million mt consumed in October 2017.
