The electricity networks of Moldova and Ukraine have been successfully synchronized with the continental European network.

This was stated by the European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson, noting that this will help Ukraine to maintain the stability of its electricity supply system, "to have warmth and light in the houses in these dark times." "This is also a historic milestone in EU-Ukraine relations - in this respect, Ukraine is now part of Europe," said Kadri Simson. According to her, this project has demonstrated exceptional cooperation and determination of all participants. The European Commissioner for Energy thanked the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity ENTSO-E for doing a year of work in two weeks to make this happen. “I want to thank the French Presidency of the EU Council and the Member States for their support of this dangerous project. And I want to thank our Ukrainian partners, Energy Minister German Galushchenkо and Ukrenergo, for their heroic efforts to keep Ukraine's energy systems running in the midst of a terrible war. The EU will continue to support Ukraine in the energy sector by ensuring reverse gas flows into the country and the supply of much-needed energy resources. We also look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation in the field of transition to a green economy and market reforms,” said Kadri Simson. As previously reported, on February 24-26, Moldova and Ukraine tested the operation of their energy systems in an isolated mode from neighboring countries in preparation for joining the energy system of continental Europe. The next such test was scheduled for the summer. However, in connection with the outbreak of Russian military operations in Ukraine, representatives of Ukrenergo and Moldelectrica submitted applications for accelerated synchronization of the Ukrainian and Moldovan energy systems with the energy system of continental Europe. The European network of system operators for transmission of electricity, ENTSO-E, has announced that it is taking steps to urgently connect Moldova and Ukraine to the European energy system. // 16.03.2022 — InfoMarket
