This week marks the second anniversary of the successful emergency synchronisation of Ukraine and Moldova’s electricity grid to the Continental European Network.

It has, said the spokesperson, helped keeping access to electricity, heat and hot water for millions of Ukrainians during the winter period.

Since the start of the war, the volume of electricity imports to Ukraine increased by more than 94% compared to 2021.

The synchronisation has also helped to ensure export revenues for Ukraine by enabling commercial trade flows whenever Ukraine was in electricity surplus.

Two years after the emergency synchronisation, the interconnection is now permanent.

At the end of 2023, ENTSO-E – the umbrella body of European Transmission System Operators, confirmed that the Ukrainian Transmission System Operator Ukrenergo had complied with all the requirements necessary to enable a permanent interconnection and it became a full member of ENTSO-E.
