Import of electricity in Ukraine decreased by 23% amidst rising export
During the week from June 15 to June 21, a 23% reduction in electricity imports in Ukraine was recorded, while its export increased by 2.5 times, reaching the highest weekly rate since October 2025.
According to DIXI Group data, favorable weather conditions helped improve generation by household solar power plants, reducing the load on Ukraine’s electricity grid. Additionally, following the completion of repairs at a nuclear power plant, the situation in the energy system stabilized. For the reporting period, the largest suppliers of electricity to Ukraine were Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, and Moldova. Overall, imports decreased by 13-33% in the main directions, except for Moldova, where it increased.
In the export segment, Hungary took the largest share, followed by Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia. The planned increase in exports mainly occurred in the directions to Slovakia, Moldova, and Hungary, while supply to Romania decreased by 12%, and there were no exports to Poland. The new trend reflects the complex situation in Ukraine’s energy sector, where despite increased exports, it remains a net importer, as import volumes exceed exports by 1.8 times.
It was previously reported that in May 2026, electricity imports into Ukraine decreased by 29% compared to April, while exports increased by 2.8 times. It is also known that Ukraine increased electricity imports in response to repair works at nuclear power plant units. Such changes in the energy balance may have long-term implications for the stability of Ukraine’s power system, increasing the country’s dependence on external supplies.
