According to Galushchenko, this requires only the solution of the network of system operators ENTSO-E.

“The ENTSO-E decision is needed to increase the volume of electricity imports,” the Minister emphasized.

According to him, this will allow Ukraine to stably pass the winter period..

As you know, starting from February 24, NPC Ukrenergo disconnected the Ukrainian energy system from the networks of Russia and Belarus.. Within three days, tests of the operation of the power system in isolated mode were successfully carried out. After the completion of the tests, Ukraine decided not to return to the energy system of Russia and Belarus, which was supposed to take place on February 27. On March 16, the energy system of Ukraine was fully synchronized with the European energy network ENTSO-E.

Recall, the CEO of the YASNO energy supplier (DTEK Kyiv Grids) Serhiy Kovalenko said that Ukraine is likely to have to live in conditions of constant power outages at least until the end of March..

At the same time, according to Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudrytsky, despite the massive damage to the Ukrainian energy system, Ukraine has not even started importing electricity from the EU yet..

The country's energy system has survived the biggest attacks in the history of mankind. Ukraine is experiencing a large shortage of generating capacity. To save the system in winter during further enemy attacks, a specific plan has been developed, an important element of which is the provision of equipment. Ukraine is looking for different types of equipment all over the world, on every continent, and we are negotiating with hundreds of companies around the world.
