Details
According to Zaichenko, industrial consumers can use the mechanism of directed import.
By providing 60% of their consumption through imports, they are not subject to restrictions according to power limitation schedules
The head of "Ukrenergo" emphasized that protective measures at energy facilities have shown high efficiency.
That is why the most expensive equipment is kept in the operation of the energy system
Currently, the maximum amount of electricity imports is 2100 MW, but due to internal restrictions, it is not fully utilized. Next month, this figure will increase to 2300 MW.
For next month, an agreement has already been reached with the European system operator to increase the available import volume to 2300 MW. This will allow us to guarantee that we will be able to receive the necessary assistance for the energy system from our European colleagues at any time
