Ukrenergo told about the balance of production and consumption of electricity in Ukraine

In 2019, there were no global changes in the structure of electricity production and consumption: there was neither rapid growth in electricity consumption, nor a rapid drop due to energy efficiency. Head of Ukrenergo Vsevolod Kovalchuk said this during the press conference on the preliminary results of the electricity market in 2019, Kosatka.Media reports.

“What we noted is that in 2019, the share in the balance of hydroelectric power plants decreased significantly. They provided us with fewer opportunities for their use, and at the beginning of the operation of the electricity market of hydroelectric power stations were saved problems in balancing the power system. For 2020, the forecast is also disappointing”,said Kovalchuk.

He also added that the impact of electricity imports is insignificant across the entire electricity market. Exports are also about the same as last year.

Ukrenergo reported full payment for a feed-in tariff.
