The article analyzes the problems of modern energy efficiency of mining of coal deposits. Traditional technology of mining of coal seams differ technical and environmental shortcomings that have taken place over the last century the use of the fossil coal for energy needs. The modern requirements of the use of energy saving technologies require a coal transition to gas fuel and more extensive using of a clean technology with higher energy efficiency. A comprehensive approach both the coal and power generating technologies needs to increase of energy efficiency use as well as for creation in the energy sector of our country these complexes. The schemes and connections of the individual blocks of such technological complexes are discussed. Data about the relationship of capital costs for construction of the complexes, depending on their capacity, and estimation their technical and environmental performance are cited.
