In July 2024, Ukraine reduced electricity imports by 2% compared to June 2024 - to 837.8 thousand MWh. There was no export of electricity. This is evidenced by ExPro Electricity monitoring.

During the month, deliveries increased only from Hungary, by 5.5%, and from Poland, by 10%. In the rest of the directions (Slovakia, Moldova, Romania), electricity imports decreased. The largest share in the structure of imports will continue to be occupied by Hungary - 45%, followed by Poland (19%), and Romania (18%). The rest are Slovakia and Moldova.

In July, from July 10 to July 21, during the period of abnormal heat, the import of electricity from Moldova was temporarily stopped, by the decision of the local operator of the transmission system as part of energy security measures. Also, there was no electricity import from Slovakia on July 23.

According to ExPro Electricity calculations, the average hourly import capacity in July amounted to 1126 MW. Most of the electricity was imported at 18:00 - the average figure for the month was 1308 MW.

As a reminder, in June 2024, Ukraine imported record volumes during the period of synchronous work with ENTSO-E.
