Key Highlights:
Import Details: Ukrenergo, the power system operator, announced that Ukraine will import electricity from five EU countries today. The total volume of imports is expected to be 24,982 MW/h with a maximum capacity of 1,239 MW.
Countries Involved: The electricity will be imported from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova. The activation of supply from the Polish power system began yesterday afternoon at Ukrenergo's request.
Consumer Impact: The implementation of three-shift restrictions means that half of the consumers in each region are following hourly outage schedules. This includes:
- One Round of Blackout Schedules: 4 hours of restrictions per day.
- Two Rounds of Blackout Schedules: 8 hours of restrictions per day.
- Three Rounds of Blackout Schedules: 12 hours of restrictions per day.
- Four Rounds of Blackout Schedules: More than 12 hours of restrictions per day.
Conclusion
Today's import of electricity from five EU countries highlights Ukraine's efforts to stabilize its power supply amidst ongoing challenges. The strategic imports and managed outage schedules aim to mitigate disruptions and ensure a steady power supply for consumers.
