From October 11, Ukraine will stop exporting electricity to stabilize its energy system after the Russian shelling.
This was reported by the Ministry of Energy.
The agency also noted that Ukrainian electricity, which was exported after synchronization to the EU, as well as via separate lines to Moldova and Poland, helped Europe replace Russian gas and maintained the stability of the energy system.
"It was the export of electricity from Ukraine that helped Europe reduce the consumption of Russian energy resources. And that is why Russia is destroying our energy system, killing the very possibility of exporting electricity from Ukraine," said Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
- Ukraine and Moldova integrated into the European ENTSO-E together. The power systems of both countries were fully synchronized with the power grid of continental Europe in mid-March 2022.
- On September 5, European operators of the transmission system agreed to increase the supply of Ukrainian electricity from 250 MW to 300 MW during daytime and evening hours.
- On the morning of October 10, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine: it launched at least 83 missiles, 43 of which were shot down by air defense forces. 11 infrastructure facilities were damaged, and civilians were killed.
