ENTSO-EOn 18 April 2023, the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Continental Europe agreed to increase the electricity trade capacity from Continental Europe to Ukraine/Moldova to 1,050 megawatts (MW), which represents an increase of 200 MW from previous trade capacity upgrade. This increase will be applicable as soon as the interconnection between Ukraine/Moldova and Continental Europe will be reinforced, which is currently planned in May 2023.
In the next weeks, the TSOs will assess whether further increases of the trading capacity between Continental Europe and Ukraine-Moldova can be envisaged, in both directions.
The commercial exchanges of electricity between Continental Europe and Ukraine/Moldova started in June 2022 after the successful synchronisation of the respective power systems a few weeks earlier. Since then, the capacity available for trading between the two power systems has been regularly increased reaching threshold of 850MW max. import capacity and 400MW max. export capacity at all hours.
