Tauron to invest PLN 1 bln in coal mining

WSE-listed utility Tauron will spend PLN 1 billion on investments in the coal mining sector until 2020, the company’s CEO Filip Grzegorczyk said. “We want to use up to 70 percent of our own fuel to produce energy,” he added. In 2015 that level stood at 40 percent. The investments include the recently acquired coal mine in Brzeszcze, where Tauron will spend over PLN 500 million by 2025, Janina mine, where a new mining level will be built for PLN 517 million, and PLN 550 is to be invested on a shaft at Sobieski mine.
