ENTSO-E increased the maximum export capacity of Ukraine and Moldova
The capacity of electricity exports from Ukraine and Moldova to EU countries has increased to 900 MW
The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity ENTSO-E has increased the maximum allowable capacity of Ukraine and Moldova for electricity exports by 250 MW - up to 900 MW.
This was reported by the Ministry of Energy.
"Increasing the maximum export capacity is an important step that will facilitate the balancing of the Ukrainian energy system. It will also allow Ukrainian power plants to receive additional profit, which will allow them to direct additional resources to eliminate the consequences of Russian shelling and prepare for winter," said Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko. He emphasized that electricity exports from Ukraine are carried out exclusively under conditions of a capacity surplus in the energy system.
"The new limit is valid until August 1, since in the future the maximum export capacity will be reviewed monthly. In the process of weekly assessment of the network status, the export value may be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of operational security," said Vitaliy Zaychenko, Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo NPC.
It is noted that this is the result of cooperation between transmission system operators participating in the Eastern Europe Capacity Calculation Region (EE CCR) and the TSCnet Regional Coordination Center.
Recall that from May 1, the maximum capacity of electricity exports from Ukraine and Moldova to the EU countries was 650 MW. This was the decision of the ENTSO-E Expert Group on calculations of commercial electricity exchanges. Now the decision on the permitted capacity of exports to the European Union from the Ukraine-Moldova zone will be calculated by the transmission system operators included in the Eastern Europe Capacity Calculation Region. Namely, the TSOs of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova.
As reported by "Ukrainian Energy", during June 23-29, 2025, Ukraine's electricity exports increased by 23% compared to the previous week - to 85.1 thousand MWh. At the same time, exports to Poland began again - for the first time after a three-month break.
