Tauron to invest PLN 1 bln on coal mining

WSE-listed utility Tauron will spend PLN 1 billion on investments in the coal mining sector until 2020, 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 recently acquired coal mine in Brzeszcze, where Tauron will spend over PLN 500 million by 2025, Janina mine, where for PLN 517 million, new mining level will be build and PLN 550 on a shaft at Sobieski mine.
