Ukrenergo receives official letter from Slovakia regarding termination of emergency assistance

Ukrenergo announced this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

The terms of the agreement will officially expire in May of this year.

“The reasons why our colleagues are terminating the agreement have not been explained by SEPS management. For its part, NPC Ukrenergo has never violated any terms of the agreement with SEPS, acting in the spirit of good neighborliness and respect for European legislation,” the company stated.

Ukrenergo emphasizes that there will be no changes for Ukrainian users. Emergency assistance from Slovakia was utilized quite rarely and in very limited volumes. The last such instance was in January.

The termination of the aforementioned agreement has no impact on commercial trade. Electricity imports from Slovakia to Ukraine have been and continue to be carried out without any restrictions, in accordance with the results of daily and long-term auctions for the allocation of transmission capacity at inter-state crossings.

As reported by Ukrinform, on March 4, the Slovak government approved terminating the agreement between SEPS and Ukraine.

Ukrenergo noted at the time that no official documents regarding the termination of the existing bilateral agreement on emergency assistance had been received from the Slovak operator.
