The European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) has increased the available cross-border capacity for Ukraine’s electricity exports towards the EU to 300 megawatts. Such capacities will be available to Ukrainian exporters during peak consumption hours.
The relevant decision was made by the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Continental Europe at a meeting of the ENTSO-E Regional Group Continental Europe, the press service of Ukrenergo National Power Company reported.
“The cross-border capacity for electricity exports/imports between Ukraine and ENTSO-E has been increased by 50 MW during daytime and evening hours. In particular, from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (16 consecutive hours) on Monday-Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (14 consecutive hours) on Saturday-Sunday. During the remaining hours, cross-border capacity will be at the previous level,” the report states.
Now, the total cross-border transmission capacity between the energy systems of Ukraine and the EU has increased up to 300 MW during the daytime and evening hours, and will remain at the level of 250 MW at nighttime hours. The increased deliveries started from September 5. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
