Ukrainian and Polish technicians carried out modernization efforts, and the line has been in operation, having since passed the three-day test period, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said. He emphasized that the additional powerful interconnector increases Ukraine’s export-import capabilities.
Ukrenergo clarified that the total length of the modernized line reaches almost 400 km, and more than 70% of it passes through Ukrainian territory. The project’s total cost was UAH 350M ($9.5M).
“This line will strengthen the connection between the Ukrainian and European energy systems and will be an additional element of European energy security and contributes to the development of a stable energy network in Ukraine,” added the head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi.
