"Ukraine began export of electricity to Europe," Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported on his Telegram channel, APA reports quoting Ukrainian News.

"Just three months after receiving energy visa-free, the long-awaited export of Ukrainian electricity to Europe began. Today, such an export went in the direction of Romania from one in the morning. The initial volume is 100 MW. Energy visa-free with the EU, which started work in March of this year, gives its very visible and a practical result. Only for the first day, the Ukrenergo state enterprise earned UAH 10 million to sell access to interstate intersection,” he wrote.

According to Shmyhal, the potential of Ukrainian electricity exports to Europe is up to 2.5 GW, while according to this scenario, the state will be able to receive more than UAH 70 billion per year.
