KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine, whose power system has come under continued drone and missile attacks by Russia, boosted its electricity imports to a this-year high of 360 megawatt hours in October, the Ukrainian ExPro consultancy said late on Monday.
Ukrainian power imports stood at 140 Mwh in September and 264 MWh in August.
Ukrainian officials say Russia has sharply intensified attacks on Ukrainian power facilities, causing blackouts in many regions.
ExPro said Ukraine had imported power mostly from Hungary and Poland.
Ukraine can import no more than 2,100 MW per hour of electricity from EU states simultaneously, but the head of the Ukrainian power grid operator said on Tuesday the country was currently utilising 30% to 50% of this capacity.
"There is a possibility for import and it is significant," Vitalii Zaichenko said on national television.
