✔️From April 21, Ukraine will stop exporting electricity to Slovakia The corresponding results are published on the auction platform of the NPC "Ukrenergo". Ukraine cannot increase the export of electricity to the countries of the European Union due to the lack of joint auctions for the distribution of transmission capacity. Previously, there was an agreement between Ukraine and EU countries (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary) that bandwidth will be allocated using the site of a single distribution office at the Joint Allocation Office (JAO). In general, from April 17 to 19, the volume of electricity exported to Slovakia amounted to 14.4 thousand MWh. Thus, from April 21, Ukraine will be able to export electricity only to Poland (up to 75 MW) and to Moldova (up to 650 MW, but the need is much smaller). Source. |
