EU to increase electricity export capacity to Ukraine and Moldova for this winter

On 29 October, the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Continental Europe announced that the electricity export capacity to Ukraine and Moldova from neighbouring EU countries could be increased for the winter. 

Based on a joint assessment of the power system conditions, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for electricity (ENTSO-E) announced that the export limit could be increased from 1700 megawatts (MW) to 2100 MW from 1 December, while still ensuring power system stability and operational security. 

From March 2025, TSOs will reassess the commercial capacity limit between the EU and Ukraine and Moldova on a monthly basis.

The European Commission welcomed TSOs’ announcement. Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson said it was a “further sign of the strong support that the EU is offering Ukraine and Moldova, and the solidarity of the European TSO community”.
