⚡️ Ukraine has stopped exporting electricity on May 24th Ukraine has stopped exporting electricity to other countries due to the need to cover its own consumption, Ukrenergo reported on May 24th. For the coming days, the proposed capacity for export in all directions is 0 MW. The lack of exports from Ukraine is related to the need to cover Ukraine's internal consumption needs throughout the day, as well as to ensure reserves for the evening hours of maximum consumption. "We expect that perhaps from the weekend or next week, we will review the balance sheet and perhaps exports will resume in certain limited volumes," Kudrytskyi said on Wednesday. Exports were last carried out in small volumes on May 22 - 400 MWh each to Moldova and Poland. From May 1 to May 15, Ukraine exported 30.7 thousand MWh. of electricity - 21.8 MWh in Moldova, 8.9 MWh - in Poland. Source. |

☀️Investments in solar energy may exceed oil investments this year The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects that this year, for the first time, investors will put more money into solar energy than into oil production. As Bloomberg reports, the IEA found that more than $1.7 trillion will be invested in various clean energy technologies this year, compared to about $1 trillion in fossil fuel supply and traditional electricity generation. Clean energy spending is set to grow 24% this year, compared to 15% growth in fossil fuel investment. |
