Electricity producers of Moldova and Ukraine are actively exploiting the possibilities of connecting the national grids to the European electricity system ENTSO-E. Despite the war, the neighboring country recently exported a record amount of electricity to Europe during the day. Among the countries that benefited from supplies are Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania, according to the press service of the national energy company Ukrenergo, as Ukrainian News agency reported.
The quoted source said that electricity is exported from Ukraine to other countries only if there is no deficit in the energy system. River floods and sunny weather contribute to the active operation of hydroelectric power plants and renewable energy power plants. “Thanks to this, electricity producers have the opportunity not only to fully meet the needs of Ukrainian consumers but also to sell electricity to neighboring countries, receiving funds for further recovery after the armed attacks of the Russians,” noted the source.
A small amount of electricity is planned to be imported in the evening hours from Moldova Slovakia, and Romania.
Since March, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) has increased the capacity of interstate interconnectors for the export of electricity from Ukraine and Moldova from 400 MW to 550 MW per hour.
