Export capacity of electricity to Ukraine and Moldova will increase to 2300 MW
From December, volumes of electricity import from the European Union to Ukraine and Moldova will increase to 2300 MW, which will be critically important support against the backdrop of attacks on energy infrastructure.
The maximum capacity for electricity import available from European Union countries will increase from 2100 MW to 2300 MW, according to Ukrenergo’s chairman Vitaly Zaichenko. This statement was made during a briefing on Tuesday, November 11. According to Zaichenko, this move will allow obtaining assistance from European partners at any moment when it is necessary for the stable operation of the power system.
This decision was made against the backdrop of a difficult situation in Ukraine following attacks on key energy facilities. Russian forces have launched massive strikes on the territories of several regions, including Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk, which caused a halt in operations of the thermal power plants of “Centrenergo.” These actions intensified power outages across Ukraine.
Increasing import limits is aimed at enhancing the stability of electricity supply amidst the energy crisis. Experts believe that further cooperation with European energy systems will be crucial for ensuring the energy security of Ukraine. This decision also emphasizes the importance of international support amidst the escalation of the conflict.
| Country | Maximum import capacity (MW) |
|---|---|
| Ukraine and Moldova | 2300 |
| Previously | 2100 |
The management of “Ukrenergo” continues negotiations with European operators to ensure the stability of electricity supply and mitigate the consequences of the Russian attacks.
