According to Energy Map, between February 23 and March 1, electricity imports into Ukraine decreased by 2% compared to the previous week – to 306.8 GWh. There was no electricity export during this period.
During the week, russia continued its attacks on Ukraine’s energy system. In particular, on February 26 another massive attack took place, causing emergency outages of several high-voltage transmission lines. To maintain the balance of the power system, nuclear generation capacity was forced to be reduced. In addition, Ukrenergo introduced additional restriction schedules in the “deficit” part of the power system. At the same time, warmer weather during the week and increased solar generation helped reduce the load on the system.
The lowest daily import volume was recorded on Sunday – 34.0 GWh, which is 21% less than on the corresponding day of the previous week.
Import structure by country:
- Hungary – 143.0 GWh (47%);
- Romania – 54.4 GWh (18%);
- Slovakia – 53.2 GWh(17%);
- Poland – 49.1 GWh (16%);
- Moldova – 7.1 GWh (2%).
Compared to the previous week, supplies from Poland and Moldova increased by 53% and 92%, respectively, while imports from other directions declined by 8-12%.
