Speaking about the latest attack, it was also focused on quite clear targets, with key energy infrastructure facilities, both in terms of transmission and generation, being attacked. And among the characteristic aspects of the last attack, it was an attack on the network infrastructure that is directly involved in export and import operations. In order to minimize the possibility of attracting imports and, ideally, to disconnect Ukraine’s system from the European energy system

Regarding exports, the Prime Minister’s advisor noted that they are currently of a purely technical nature, in small volumes and at night. 

There have been no exports for the last week and a half, but before that, rather small volumes were exported at night, when there was a certain excess of electricity in the system

By the end of winter, our country is more interested in imports. And it has been happening recently on a regular basis, increasing during peak hours of the power system in order to compensate and minimize the schedules of restrictions and is currently in the range of 700-1100 megawatts

Recall
