The Bogdanka mine did not increase its production, now its head may be dismissed
The Minister of State Assets Jacek Sasin spoke with the president of the Enea Group, Paweł Majewski. The topics included the future of the president of Bogdanka Mine. During the Supervisory Board meeting of LW Bogdanka (Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka), which will be held on Friday, September 16, the motion to dismiss President Artur Wasil will be considered. The plant has not increased its production so far.
Bogdanka’s president has run the plant for a second term, and he started another in June this year. The plant is part of the Enea Group. LW Bogdanka has recently announced that due to unforeseen circumstances, the mine has to lower its production targets for this year to approximately 8.3 million tons of commercial coal. The earlier threshold was 9.3 million tons, while in 2021 it was around 10 million tons.
