Ukraine has completely stopped exporting electricity

Ukraine does not import and export electricity. This was reported by Ukrenergo on Wednesday, May 24.

“The lack of electricity exports from Ukraine is due to the need to cover the country’s internal consumption needs throughout the day and provide reserves for the night hours of maximum consumption,” said report.

At the same time, it is argued that the electricity produced is now sufficient to cover the needs of consumers in Ukraine.

“The available water resources allow the hydroelectric power plants to operate throughout the day, as well as increasing their generation to cover the consumption peaks in the morning and evening, where the capacities of the thermal powers plant that can be used in the system is also attracted to the maximum. However, the flood is gradually decreasing, which will affect the operation of hydroelectric power plants. During the day, solar and wind power plants are actively working.

Currently, the power units of nuclear and thermal power plants are gradually being repaired. Also, an active campaign to repair power units of nuclear power plants continues.

Power engineers ask Ukrainians to rationally consume electrical energy for the sake of stable operation of the energy system during night hours, especially from 19.00 to 22.00.

“Move, if possible, the consumption to the morning, afternoon or evening, reduce the use of powerful electrical appliances in the evening hours. Then it will be easier for Ukrenergo dispatchers to maintain the balance between production and consumption of electricity during this period of peak consumption. hours, which is the key to the stable operation of the energy system,” added the company.

Earlier it became known that in Ukraine the amount of electricity production has decreased due to a combination of several factors.

Ukraine also continued to import electricity from Slovakia as a necessary measure.
