Consol Energy has resumed normal operations at its Bailey mine, where production was curtailed on March 30, after two employees tested positive for Covid-19.
The miner confirmed on Tuesday that the workforce at the Bailey mine, part of the Pennsylvania Complex, returned to a normal production schedule on Monday.
However, Consol Energy also announced that it would idle production at the Enlow Fork mine, owing to the weakness in coal demand and economic slowdown related to the pandemic.
The Pennsylvania Complex has the capacity to produce 28.5 million tons a year, with the idled Enlow Fork mine accounting for 11.5 million tons a year of the total capacity.
