According to Energy Map, Ukraine’s electricity exports increased by 17% compared to the previous week during 7-13 September, reaching 132.2 GWh, while imports declined by 26% to 16.6 GWh. As a result, electricity exports exceeded imports by a factor of eight.
Comfortable weather conditions and lower electricity demand allowed the power system to maintain a relatively stable surplus balance and remain a net exporter of electricity. The decline in consumption observed in recent weeks is linked not only to weather conditions, but also to the impact of russian attacks on industrial facilities and infrastructure.
