Ukraine expects rebound in power exports on Wednesday

The national grid company Ukrenergo said on the Telegram messaging app the electricity produced by Ukrainian wind and solar stations would be exported to Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. Ukraine's electricity imports reached a record high at the end on March after Russian missile strikes on critical infrastructure caused blackouts in many regions.

Ukraine expects a significant rise in its electricity exports on Wednesday as the system recovers from Russian missile attacks, Ukraine's energy ministry said.

The attacks, the biggest of which was on March 22, caused major damage to generation and transmission facilities, and forced Kyiv to rely on imports, while exports fell to an insignificant amount. The ministry said on Wednesday that power exports were expected to reach 1,487 megawatt hours (MWh).

"No shortage of electricity is expected. Ukraine's energy system is stable and balanced," the ministry said in a statement. The national grid company Ukrenergo said on the Telegram messaging app the electricity produced by Ukrainian wind and solar stations would be exported to Hungary, Romania, and Moldova.

Ukraine's electricity imports reached a record high at the end of March after Russian missile strikes on critical infrastructure caused blackouts in many regions. The ministry on Wednesday said Ukraine could import 5,415 Mwh in periods of maximum consumption, with supplies from Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

Ukraine imported 10,867 Mwh on Tuesday with no exports, the ministry said. The head of national grid company Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi told Reuters on Monday that Russian attacks had caused significant damage to the power system, but a total collapse is unlikely.
