Centrenergo has suspended the operation of the Zmiiv thermoelectric power plant until October 1, 2014, because of the situation involving fuel supply and the available volume of coal at the plant's warehouses. During the suspension of the power plant's operation fuel for stable operation during the 2014-2015 autumn-winter period will be stockpiled in warehouses. The company said that it is currently searching for ways to diversify its suppliers of power-generating fuels, including foreign suppliers.

Since the suspension of the power plant's operation is temporary, the company does not plan to lay off staff. At the same time, it has already developed measures aimed at keeping its personnel during the period of reduction of supplies of electricity and products.
