According to Energy Map data, electricity imports to Ukraine fell by 18.1% week-on-week to 52.9 GWh during the period of July 6-12. Meanwhile, exports rose by 75.5% to 54.3 GWh. As a result, Ukraine ended the week as a net electricity exporter, with exports exceeding imports by 1.4 GWh (or 2.5%).
Despite continued Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, including a massive strike on July 6 that caused power outages in several regions, no electricity consumption restrictions were imposed. The power system remained balanced through domestic generation and commercial electricity imports.
Weather conditions remained a key factor in stabilizing the power system. Following the period of extreme heat, lower temperatures reduced electricity demand due to decreased use of air conditioners. In addition, predominantly sunny weather throughout most of the week supported high output from residential solar power plants, reducing the need for electricity from the grid.
Import structure by country:
- Hungary – 20.9 GWh (39.5%);
