KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine, whose power system has been under constant Russian missile and drone attacks, increased its electricity exports to 237 megawatt hours in June from around 95 MWh in May, Ukrainian ExPro consultancy said on Tuesday.
The consultancy also said Ukraine had also increased power imports by 5% to 204 MWh.
The consultancy provided no explanation for the changes.
Market sources say long, sunny days have allowed more power to be produced at solar plants, but the ongoing campaign of repairs at nuclear power units has forced the import of power at night.
Ukraine had no power exports in June 2024 while imports were several times higher, ExPro noted.
The consultancy said Ukraine had exported power to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova and Poland.
Ukraine started large power exports to EU before the Russian invasion in 2022 but then switched it off after Russia damaged Ukrainian power generating facilities.
