From June 30, Ukraine began exporting electricity to Romania at a capacity of 100 MW, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced.
"Today, from 1 a.m., such exports went in the direction of Romania. The initial volume is 100 MW," he wrote on his Telegram channel on Thursday.
He noted that in the first day alone, the state-owned company Ukrenergo earned UAH 10 million by selling access to the interstate cross-section for export, and potentially Ukraine could earn more than UAH 70 billion a year from this.
"The export potential of Ukrainian electricity to Europe is up to 2.5 GW. Under this scenario, the state will be able to receive more than UAH 70 billion a year," Shmyhal said.
The prime minister stressed that the energy visa-free regime with the EU, which began in March this year, gives its very visible and practical result, and the energy sector will become one of the drivers for the recovery of the Ukrainian economy, as it has already become a driver for integration into the EU.
According to the data on the ENTSO-E website, physical exports from Ukraine to Romania are made on June 30 with a flat schedule of 100 MWh.
Funny how Russia has left the civilian infrastructure pretty much alone in the Ukraine.
America would have wiped it out, with shock and awe, on day 1.
When and if the Russians decide that this is a war, rather than a “special military operation”, the first thing they’ll do is launch a few Icelanders and knock out their power.
What’s Jao BiXiden’s personal cut?
A UAH is about three and a half cents.
Iceland might object Russia using Icelanders as weapons. Just saying.
“Iceland might object Russia using Icelanders as weapons. Just saying.”
LOL, pretty good. I’m just too lazy to look up the spelling.
Russia is planning on occupying the country. so leaving expensive and long lead-time infrastructure undamaged makes sense.
There’s no evidence of that. Maybe they wanted to cause as little disruption as possible to the Ukrainian population during this SMO.
Most Slavic’s are a little crazy, so the Ruskies know the Ukes would return the favor...
All the juice comes from Russia......it’s a good deal though......
You were off by three letters.
“Iskander” is the name.
““Iskander” is the name.”
Close enough.
