According to Energy Map, between May 4 and 10, Ukraine reduced electricity imports by 63% to 54.6 GWh. This is the lowest weekly import figure since October 2025. At the same time, exports increased from 3.9 GWh to 23.1 GWh, and on certain days of the week they exceeded imports.
The increase in air temperature contributed to a decrease in electricity consumption and, accordingly, a decrease in the load on the power system. Additional support for system balance came from increased generation from renewable energy sources. In particular, longer daylight hours and sunny weather contributed to higher output from solar power plants. Domestic generation and imports made it possible to cover demand without applying consumption restriction measures.
Despite the growth in exports, the total weekly volume of imports exceeded exports by 2.4 times and remains an important element of balancing the power system.
Import structure by country:
- Hungary – 25.8 GWh (47%);
- Romania – 14.7 GWh (27%);
- Poland – 14.1 GWh (26%).
Overall, imports decreased across all directions by 53-68%, while supplies from Slovakia and Moldova were absent.
Electricity exports were carried out daily, mainly during night and daytime hours with lower load on the power system. At the same time, on May 7 and 8, for the first time since October 2025, daily electricity export volumes exceeded imports by 5% and 13%, respectively.
Export structure by country:
- Hungary – 15.3 GWh (66%);
- Moldova – 4.1 GWh (18%);
- Romania – 3.7 GWh (16%).
Supplies to Slovakia and Poland were absent.
