Since June 2024, following the destruction of numerous power plants in Ukraine and the anticipated large electricity deficit during the winter 2024-25, the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Continental Europe have evaluated the feasibility to increase the electricity export capacity from the neighbouring EU countries to Ukraine and Moldova, while ensuring power system stability and operational security.

To this end, the TSOs have jointly assessed the power system conditions and looked for ways to maximize capacity for this winter. The results of the calculations have enabled the TSOs to secure an increase of the export capacity limit to Ukraine and Moldova to 2,100 megawatts (MW) during this winter. It represents an increase of 400 MW from the previous value.

This important increase of the electricity export capacity is another sign of the strong support and the solidarity of the European TSO community with the people of Ukraine and Moldova.

The 2.100 MW export capacity limit will apply from 1 December 2024. From March 2025, TSOs will be able to reassess the commercial capacity limit between the EU and Ukraine and Moldova on a monthly basis.
