Ukraine has reached agreement on electricity export-import rules with three countries.

The National Commission for the Energy Market and Communal Services agreed on the specifics for the distribution of interstate crossing capacity between Ukraine and Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia, as well as Ukraine and Hungary, the regulator reported.

“The decision creates conditions for increasing electricity export-import operations and will positively affect the stabilization of the operation of the unified energy system of Ukraine,” the Commission explained.

Previously, Ukrenergo would establish the rules for the capacity distribution with the transmission system operators of Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. In June 2022, the operators of Ukraine, Slovakia, and Hungary agreed on introducing a joint coordinated capacity distribution on Ukrainian borders based on the Joint Allocation Office’s electronic auction platform.
