Between April 13 and 19, Ukraine reduced electricity imports by 21%—to 114,900 MWh, according to the DIXI Group analytical center, citing data from Energy Map.
“At the same time, exports increased more than fourfold—from 2,200 MWh to 10,300 MWh—but these volumes remain insignificant and occur only during specific hours of temporary surplus, without affecting the supply of domestic demand,” the center noted.
Throughout the week, Russia continued its attacks on energy infrastructure. In particular, on April 16, another massive shelling of the power grid took place, with energy facilities in Kyiv and the southern regions as the main targets.
At the same time, weather conditions partially stabilized the situation in the power grid. A gradual rise in temperature and sunny weather contributed to a decrease in electricity consumption and an increase in solar power generation, which allowed for partial compensation of the losses caused by Russia and helped avoid large-scale blackouts.
According to DIXI Group data, electricity imports from April 13 to 19 decreased by 15–27% across all sources. At the same time, supplies from Slovakia remained absent for the second week in a row.
Hungary accounted for the largest share of imports—61.8 thousand MWh, or 53.8%. Romania accounted for 27.8 thousand MWh (24.2%), Poland for 24.7 thousand MWh (21.5%), and Moldova for 0.6 thousand MWh (0.5%).
At the same time, electricity exports remained limited and were carried out exclusively during specific hours of surplus—primarily during nighttime and daytime periods with lower load.
