In Ukraine, the import of electricity in 2024 became the largest since 2014, reaching a figure of almost 4.5 million MWh, and the export decreased to a historically minimal level during this time – to almost 350 thousand. MW*h Energoreforma writes about this with reference to the Ukrainian analytical center in the field of energy and climate DiXi Group. According to the analysts of the DiXi Group center, the main reason for the abnormal indicators were the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure. They note that from March 22 to December 25, 2024, the Russian Federation carried out 13 massive missile and drone attacks, launching 846 missiles of various types and 866 UAVs. Advertisement: Of these, 230 missiles (27%) and 25 UAVs (3%) were not shot down by air defense forces or neutralized by radar systems, presumably hitting the targets. The peak import values were recorded in June and July, when abnormal heat was added to the shelling and part of the power units went into traditional scheduled repairs to prepare them for the autumn-winter period. Export of electricity in 2024 amounted to 348.5 thousand MW*h, which is 5% less compared to 2023 and 90% less than the pre-war 2021. Advertising: During the year, exports were carried out in all available directions. Most of the electricity was exported to Poland (25.4%). During 140 days, from May 12 to September 29, the export of electricity from Ukraine was completely stopped. In total, exports were carried out for 151 days (41% of the year), while for 215 days (59%) there were zero. We will remind: In Ukraine, the level of payment for electricity under the “green” tariff in 2024 was 79.6%.
