A string of successes in the mining sector of EPS

​​​​ ​

Miners of “Elektroprivreda Srbije” are successfully bringing 2025 to a close, and the planned production goals are being achieved every day. In Kostolac, at the opencast mine “Drmno”, during the third shift last night, a record was broken in annual coal production. In.

- The highest annual production so far was 9.908 million tons, now the magic number of 10 million has been exceeded, and there are still five days left until the end of the year. The record is the merit of all employees, especially the supervisory and technical staff at the mine and crushing plant, said. Momčilo Milić, Director of Coal Production in TPP-OCM “Kostolac”.

The day before the record in Kostolac, miners at the Kolubara mine “Tamnava-West Field” fulfilled the annual production plan. By December 24, the planned 11.5 million tons of coal had been excavated, which is half of the annual planned and achieved coal production in MB “Kolubara”.

The success of the employees of the most productive mine of the “Elektroprivreda Srbije” is more significant because it was achieved in difficult conditions, as one of the rotor excavators was out of service for six months due to repairs. During that period, thanks to good work organization, and above all the great effort and dedication of the employees, the technological process of coal production continued and did not affect the achievement of the balance sheet.

Good production results and continuity of coal production from EPS mines are particularly important in the winter period, when there is a greater need for the security of the power system.
