The Commission welcomes today’s confirmation by the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Continental Europe that the electricity export capacity to Ukraine and Moldova from neighbouring EU countries can 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 today that the export limit can be increased from 1 700 megawatts (MW) to 2 100 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. On 19 September, President von der Leyen announced new EU support for Ukraine’s energy security for the winter, at a joint press conference with Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol.
She stressed the necessity to address the immediate needs in the country while making the its energy system more resilient in the long term. Today’s ENTSO-E announcement is an important step to deliver on the actions the President presented to ensure electricity export needs.
