Ukraine’s electricity exports to Moldova on the first day were significantly lower than they could have been. Full exports to Poland are delayed due to several days of grid repairs, which the Polish system operator announced in advance.

In addition, EU countries require joint auctions. Ukraine’s regulator has only recently adopted the relevant framework, but it is unclear when the joint auctions will start working.

Ukraine’s permitted cross-border capacity is higher now than last year. In late March, ENTSO-E expanded its technical capacity for electricity trading from 700 to 850 MW.
