Ukraine plans to export coal to Poland and increase the supply of electricity.

As part of preparations for the challenging heating season for both Ukraine and the EU, Ukraine is ready to consider opening quotas for importing coal to Poland, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said. According to Shmyhal, Ukraine is planning to send about 100,000 tons of coal in September, which Poland now critically needs. The head of the government reported that coal reserves in Ukraine amount to almost two million tons, which is 2.5 times more than last year’s reserves. Ukraine also plans to increase the supply of electricity to Poland. The reconstruction of the transmission line from the Khmelnytskyi NPP to the Polish Rzeszów substation will be completed ahead of schedule, allowing for the export of an additional 1,000 MW. Ukraine has called on Poland to contribute to the expansion of export quotas within the ENTSO-E.
