Synchronization with the European energy system, which took place on March 16, 2022, increased the stability of the Ukrainian energy system, and accordingly, the energy security of our country. Chairman of the Board of NEC Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudrytsky spoke about this on the Suspilne TV channel..

“If necessary, we can get additional electricity from Europe, if the enemy, for example, is shelling our energy system or if we have a power shortage, we can always ask for help,” the head of Ukrenergo emphasized..

He noted that the interconnection of energy systems almost immediately intensified interstate trade in electricity. This allowed Ukrenergo to earn UAH 6 billion for the state in 2022 just from access to interstate power lines through which electricity is traded..

" Now we can import – 1700 MW, export – 550 MW.

That is, in terms of imports, trade volumes increased 17 times in just a year and a half,” emphasized Vladimir Kudritsky.

Previously, we wrote that Ukraine’s public and state-guaranteed debt decreased in January by 0.6% (UAH 31.4 billion) in hryvnia equivalent and by 0.3% (USD 0.42 billion) in foreign currency equivalent. As of January 31, according to the Ministry of Finance, the state debt amounted to UAH 5.48 trillion or $144.9 billion. The reduction in public debt was influenced by the absence of significant external official borrowings at the beginning of the year.
