Kyiv aims to integrate into the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) as early as this month.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine with reference to the interview of Energy Minister German Galushchenko to Reuters.
The official reiterated that Ukraine would no longer power from Belarus or Russia after the insidious Russian invasion.
On February 28, the European Union said it would urgently link its grid with Ukraine’s to enhance Ukraine’s independence from the aggressor state.
EU Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson said after a EU energy council emergency meeting in Brussels that emergency synchronization of Ukraine’s energy system with ENTSO-E could take place in a few weeks.
“We are working every day to connect technically. The deadline was something around March 14, but we are doing our best to do this quickly,” Galushchenko told Reuters. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
