Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in Continental Europe have agreed to increase trade capacity with Moldova and Ukraine by about 25% for the winter period 2024-2025. According to ENTSO-E, the decision was approved following the destruction of a significant number of power plants in Ukraine and forecasts of a large electricity deficit for the winter season.

The results of the calculations made allowed the increase of electricity export limits to 2,100 megawatts (MW), 400 MW more than at present

This significant increase in export capacity represents a new sign of solidarity and strong support from the European TSO community towards the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, which have been severely affected by the brutal war of the Russian Federation.

The new export limit will enter into force on December 1, 2024. Starting with March 2025, TSOs will reassess the trade capacity between the EU, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine on a monthly basis and adapt it to the needs and conditions of the system.
