Increased Possibilities to Import European Electricity into Ukraine and Moldova

ENTSO-E Continental Europe and Ukrenergo have announced an increase in technical capacity for importing electricity into Ukraine and Moldova. The increase means that the Ukraine-Moldova block can now import up to 1,050 MW of power capacity from Continental Europe, which is 200 MW more than the previously agreed amount. The announcement was made via NPC UKRENERGO’s page on a social network.

In the coming weeks, ENTSO-E will evaluate the power systems’ operation and consider the possibility of further increasing the transfer capacity between Continental Europe and Ukraine-Moldova in both directions.

This decision was approved during the plenary meeting of ENTSO-E Regional Group Continental Europe, held recently. It is important to note that the decision on the gradual expansion of opportunities for the export/import of electricity was approved by ENTSO-E in early June 2022, less than three months after the synchronization of the Ukrainian and European power systems. Since then, the available transfer capacity with the European power system has continued to gradually increase, reaching 850 MW.
