According to Energy Map, during June 1-7, electricity imports to Ukraine decreased by 37% compared to the previous week – to 61.6 GWh. This is the first decrease in the indicator in the last four weeks. Exports also decreased – by 20%, to 27.9 GWh.
Despite russian attacks on the energy infrastructure, including a massive missile and drone strike on June 2 that caused power outages for consumers in Kyiv and several other regions, the power system continued to operate stably. Throughout the week, consumer demand was fully met through domestic generation and commercial electricity imports, without any restrictions on consumption.
At the same time, weather conditions remained one of the key factors influencing the balance of the power system. Sunny weather at the beginning and end of the working week supported active generation from household solar power plants and reduced overall load, whereas deteriorating weather conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday led to an increase in electricity consumption.
Import structure by country:
- Hungary – 21.8 GWh (36%);
- Romania – 16.0 GWh (26%);
- Slovakia – 15.0 GWh (24%);
- Poland – 8.8 GWh (14%);
- Moldova – 0.01 GWh (<0,1%).
Overall, import volumes decreased by 41-98% in all directions. The exception was Slovakia, from where deliveries increased 16 times after the resumption of full-fledged imports. By comparison, during the previous week, imports via this route were carried out only during several evening hours on May 31.
Electricity exports were carried out daily, but at the end of the week its volumes were minimal, and on June 7 no cross-border supplies were recorded after 08:00. At the same time, on June 2, 3, and 5, daytime export volumes exceeded imports.
Export structure by country:
- Moldova – 13.8 GWh (50%);
- Hungary – 11.4 GWh (41%);
- Romania – 2.3 GWh (8%);
- Slovakia – 0.4 GWh (1%).
Exports to Hungary and Romania decreased by 41% and 76% respectively, while exports to Moldova increased by 2.4 times. In addition, on June 1, exports to Slovakia were resumed after more than six months of interruption (excluding a sporadic supply on March 23 in the amount of 0.001 GWh). No exports to Poland were carried out during the week.
