On April 9, 2026, PJSC “Ukrhydroenergo” signed its first agreement since the launch of the “Electricity Import-Export” section on the Ukrainian Energy Exchange (UEEX), the company announced on its Telegram channel on Friday.
“It was Ukrhydroenergo that initiated the auction and sold electricity across the Ukraine-Moldova border,” the company noted.
As explained by the company, this agreement marks an important step in the development of exchange-based electricity trading and the expansion of the organized market’s capabilities. The agreement also has practical significance for the entire power system: a separate exchange section for import-export operations makes such transactions more predictable and transparent, allows for better system balancing amid fluctuating demand and generation, and opens up additional opportunities for attracting external resources or selling surplus electricity. As a result, the system gains greater flexibility, and the market gains clear rules of the game for all participants.
“For Ukrhydroenergo, this agreement is the result of the work of an entire team of specialists, as well as a strategic step toward developing a transparent, competitive electricity market integrated with European practices,” noted Bogdan Sukhetsky, Acting CEO of Ukrhydroenergo.
According to him, by initiating such mechanisms, the company is opening up new opportunities for efficient exports, increasing the liquidity of exchange trading, and strengthening energy cooperation with neighboring countries.
As reported, Ukraine reduced electricity imports by 25% in March compared to the previous month—to 942,100 MWh—and resumed electricity exports, which had last taken place on November 10, 2025. Export volumes in March totaled 30,200 MWh.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has signed an agreement with PJSC Ukrhydroenergo to provide a €75 million loan to finance the project “Modernization and restoration of hydroelectric power plant generation facilities,” the company said.
“The loan financing is supported by a European Union guarantee under the Ukraine Investment Framework, an instrument for mobilizing financing for Ukraine’s recovery and long-term growth,” the company said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Thursday.
According to the statement, the financing package also includes investment grants from international donors amounting to EUR 20 million.
“The estimated total cost of the project, including Ukrhydroenergo’s own contribution, is approximately EUR 120 million,” the company concluded.
According to the chairman of the supervisory board, Valentin Gvozdiy, attracting EBRD financing under the EU guarantee is an important confirmation of the confidence of international partners in Ukrhydroenergo and the quality of the company’s corporate governance.
“The project will strengthen the reliability of hydroelectric power plants and, accordingly, the stability of Ukraine’s energy system,” he said.
As noted in the statement, the project funds are planned to be used, in particular, to purchase critically needed equipment for certain hydroelectric power plants of the company, such as hydraulic power equipment damaged as a result of Russia’s military aggression, hydromechanical equipment for modernization, and equipment for responding to emergencies in conditions of martial law (emergency assistance mechanism).
As noted by Bogdan Sukhetsky, acting director general of Ukrhydroenergo, the funding will enable the timely purchase and implementation of critically needed equipment, as well as the creation of a reserve for rapid response to emergencies.
“The availability of these funds is important for maintaining the continuous operation of the enterprise and fulfilling production tasks in difficult conditions,” he stressed.
The project also includes programs to improve the qualifications of engineering personnel, enhance ESG practices, and prepare an action plan for gender equality. The project is scheduled for completion in 2030.
