EPS: There will be no power cuts

Those in charge at Elektroprivreda Srbije deny the allegations that consumers in Serbia might face power cuts this winter and claim that the current coal reserves at the depot of the Nikola Tesla thermal power plant (TENT) are sufficient.

EPS points out that the claims of the source of the daily newspaper Danas that the depot contains only 400,000 tons of coal instead of the planned 1.5 million tons are incorrect and that the reserves amount to a million tons. Among other claims, they also refute that the Kolubara mining basin doesn't have vital parts for maintaining the production and that non-coal intercalation is added in order to increase the tonnage and formally fulfill the production plan.

EPS also denies that TENT has not been receiving coal of required quality for months and that several production facilities have been switched off at the power plant due to a lack of coal.
