Background

The Yuvileyna Coal Mine ("Jubilee" in Ukrainian) is an underground coal mine in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is operated by DTEK Pavlogradugol, a subsidiary of DTEK Group, which is owned by Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov.

In 2020, the coal mines of DTEK Pavlodgradugol produced 16 million tonnes of coal. In 2020, DTEK Pavlogradcoal installed a Wi-Fi connection at a depth of 500 meters, providing a multifunctional miners’ safety system for workers. Despite this, according to DTEK's 2020 report, it planned to close the mine in 2025.

The mine is said to have one of the highest concentrations of methane gas in mining operations in Western Donbas.

Pavlograd is considered the center of Western Donbass and coal mines are located around the city. Located 80km from the Donetsk region, the city periodically suffers from Russian shelling. Due to the Russian invasion, many people left Pavlograd, including mine workers, and about 3,600 miners were mobilized into the Defense Forces. Coal enterprises faced a personnel crisis and now many women are employed in the mines in Pavlograd.

In June 2023, there was an explosion at the mine with three people injured. As of August 2023, the mine appeared to be operational although no production levels are known.

However as of June 2024, most of the mines in Western Donbass were planned to close, including the Yuvileyna coal mine.

In July 2024, most of the Western Donbas mines temporarily suspended operations due to a sharp fall in coal demand following Russian destruction of DTEK's thermal power plant generation capacity. By October 2024, DTEK Pavlogradugol mines had resumed operations on a five-day working week, collectively producing approximately 90% of all Ukrainian coal output.

Despite DTEK's plan to close the Yuvileyna mine by 2024–2025, as of March 2026 the Yuvileyna mine remained part of the active Pershotravenske Mine Management, as confirmed by the appointment of a new director to lead the unit.
