Ukraine to Increase EU Power Import Capabilities

POWER

Ukraine is in talks to maximise possible power imports from EU countries to compensate for the generation capacity destroyed by the Russian attacks, the Ukrainian energy ministry said, cited by XM.

  • The attacks have caused a loss of 8GWh of generating capacity from the energy system, the government says.
  • Currently, Ukraine can import no more than 1.7GWh of electricity simultaneously from EU States.
  • But it is possible to maximise import capabilities to as high as 2.4GWh, according to the energy minister.
  • Ukrainian TSO DTEK said earlier this month that 2.2GWh would improve the situation.
  • Ukraine consumed around 13GWh before the attacks as of March 17 but after a series of Russian attacks on the energy system, consumption fell to 9.1GWh, DTEK data show.
