The situation in the Ukrainian energy system after the massive enemy strike on March 22 remains difficult.
As of March 23, there is still a shortage of electricity. In some cities, for example, in Kharkiv, its supply has not been fully restored.
For comparison: before the strike, the domestic energy system was in surplus, which allowed for increased exports. For example, from March 11 to 17, 35,000 megawatt hours were supplied to foreign markets (most of which was exported to Poland).
Currently, Ukraine is receiving emergency imports from Romania, Slovakia, and Poland.
The head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Kudrytsky, has already called this attack on the energy system the largest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And experts say that Ukraine was literally one step away from a blackout. And its risks are increasing in the event of further attacks.
Energy market expert Oleg Popenko believes that the crisis in the energy system may accelerate the increase in electricity tariffs - both for business and the population.
