By purchasing twenty tons of oil at Jugopetrol's gas station, the Pljeval coal mine managed to maintain production, and these quantities are enough for the mine for one day's work.
The executive director of Rudnik Vuk Roćen said that Jugopetrol approved the purchase from their own reserves so that the production of that company and the Thermal Power Plant, which they supply with coal, would not stop.
Roćen told "Vijesta" that the tank truck with fuel was on its way to Pljevlja and was supposed to arrive at its destination late last night.
Due to the impassability of the road, the tanker with fuel left for Pljevlja via Pavino Polje and Kovren.
Roćen said that they have stopped the overburden work and are digging only coal in order to save on oil.
According to him, the company consumes 15 to 20 tons of oil per day.
The Coal Mine consumes 15 to 20 tons of oil per day
Roćen reiterated that the situation at the mines is still difficult due to the heavy snow, but that they manage to deliver five to five and a half thousand tons of coal to the Thermal Power Plant landfill every day. When operating at full power, the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant consumes around five thousand tons of coal per day.
Currently, the Pljeval block operates with a reduced power of 170 megawatts and consumes slightly less coal, in order to enable the Pljeval miners to replenish the landfill during this period.
