Ukraine may return to electricity exports on August 25

23 August , 2024  

Starting Monday, August 25, Ukraine may return to exporting electricity during daytime hours when the power system has a surplus, NPC Ukrenergo reported on Telegram.

According to the company, this is facilitated by a decrease in heat and, as a result, electricity consumption, as well as the early completion of the scheduled repair of one of the units of nuclear power plants. At the same time, solar power plants are actively operating during the daytime.

Ukrenergo reminded that in order to avoid accidents, the power system must operate in a balanced manner – the amount of energy produced every minute must correspond to the amount of consumed resource.

“Given the economic inexpediency of limiting the operation of solar power plants, starting from August 25, Ukraine plans to resume electricity exports to neighboring countries. Tomorrow, an auction will be held for access to interstate crossings in the directions of Romania, Hungary and Moldova,” the NPC said.

Electricity will be exported exclusively during the period of surplus – during the active operation of SPPs. During periods of maximum consumption, when there is not enough capacity in the power system, electricity will not be exported from Ukraine.
