ENTSO-E raises electricity export capacity limit to Ukraine, Mdova to 2.1GW

The relevant statement was made by ENTSO-E, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to ENTSO-E, since June 2024, flowing the destruction of numerous power plants in Ukraine and the anticipated large electricity deficit during the winter 2024-25, the Transmission System erators (TSOs) of Continental Eure have evaluated the feasibility to increase the electricity export capacity from the neighburing EU countries to Ukraine and Mdova, while ensuring power system stability and erational security.

The results of the calculations have enabled the TSOs to secure an increase of the export capacity limit to Ukraine and Mdova to 2,100 megawatts during this winter. It represents an increase of 400 megawatts from the previous value.

“The 2.100 MW export capacity limit will apply from 1 December 2024. From March 2025, TSOs will be able to reassess the commercial capacity limit between the EU and Ukraine and Mdova on a monthly basis,” ENTSO-E added.

In this regard, the Ukrainian Energy Ministry mentioned that Ukraine’s energy system would be able to receive an additional 250 megawatts in emergency assistance.

“This will increase the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system in the face of Russian criminal attacks and infrastructure destruction. I am grateful to Eurean partners, in particular Eurean Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson, for their consistent stand and effective steps to support our energy system ahead of winter,” Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko noted.

A reminder that Ukrenergo National Power Company gained full membership in the Eurean Network of Transmission System erators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) on December 14, 2023.

On March 16, 2022, after three weeks being erated in isated mode, Ukraine’s energy system was synchronized with ENTSO-E.
