Це і через безпекову складову, а також через те, що у роботу молодіжних організацій внесла корективи повномасштабна війна. Ще з часів карантину, і тим паче зараз, ми все частіше проводимо час вдома та

In order to save electricity consumption when pumping reduced volumes of process water, new pumping units at water and slurry cycle stations were purchased and installed at Central GOK. Investments in the implementation of this project amounted to UAH 6.7 mln. According to the experts, the expected annual savings will reach more than UAH 19 mln. In order to fulfil production plans with the lowest production costs, in 2023, Central GOK organized the operation of equipment at the most favourable time - at night, during the period of the minimum tariff. During the day, the concentrate production process was suspended and, accordingly, the volume of pumping of process water decreased.The plant's specialists analysed the electricity consumption and operating modes of the existing pumps of the water and slurry cycle stations and proposed to install new, more energy-saving units of similar capacity at the pumping station of the technical power supply shop and at the slurry pumping station of
