At the auction, 100% of the available capacity in this direction was distributed among four participants.

"Electricity exports from Ukraine have resumed since 11 April and are currently continuing to Poland and Moldova and are carried out exclusively on condition of priority provision to Ukrainian consumers," the statement said.

The maximum capacity allowed by ENTSO-E to export electricity to Europe is currently 400 megawatt. Ukrenergo also added that together with European colleagues it is working on the possibility of increasing this volume.
