Since July 1, 2019, the launch of a new market model enabled electricity imports to Ukraine. During the first four days, 19.571 mln kWh from Slovakia were imported into the “energy island of the Burshtynska TPP”.
During the same period, exported electricity from the “energy island of the Burshtynska TPP” amounted to 42.297 mln kWh. Traders have exported to countries such as Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.
| Period | Imports, mln kWh | Exports, mln kWh |
| July 1 | 2.407 | 11.323 |
| July 2 | 3 | 7.997 |
| July 3 | 7.604 | 12.05 |
| July 4 | 6.56 | 10.927 |
| Total | 19.571 | 42.297 |
The launch of the new market model has lifted regulatory restrictions for the import of electricity to Ukraine. Imports are currently the most important condition for creating a transparent competition among Ukrainian electricity producers.
