OREANDA-NEWS. April 04, 2011. Koks took part in the global “Earth Hour” campaign. A partial cut-off of electric power allowed the company to save 231 kWh in electricity. On 26 March, from 20:30 to 21:30 local time, lighting was turned off in buildings No. 1, 2, and 3 on 1-ya Stakhanovskaya street; lighting was turned off for one hour in the buildings and structures of the entire factory. In addition, lighting was interrupted at the grounds of the auto transport department and the covered coal storage facility, currently under construction; lighting along the factory's perimeter was also partially turned off.
