According to Energy Map, in June 2025, Ukraine exported 233,4 GWh of electricity to neighboring European countries, which is 14,5% more than imported - 203,9 GWh. Thus, for the first time in the last 20 months that Ukraine ended a month as a net exporter of electricity. The last time Ukraine exported more than it imported was in October 2023.
Throughout June, electricity exports from Ukraine were carried out daily, showing an overall upward trend. While volumes remained relatively low at the beginning of the month, the second half saw a sharp increase, peaking on June 27 with 15.8 GWh exported in a single day.
During the month, the largest share of electricity exports went to Hungary (122.3 GWh or 52.4%), followed by Romania with 38.7 GWh (16.6%), Slovakia with 37.2 GWh (15.9%), and Moldova with 34.2 GWh (14.7%). Starting June 27, after a three-month pause, Ukraine resumed exports to Poland in small volumes - 0.9 GWh (0.4%).
Compared to May 2025, when 89.1 GWh were exported, the volume of electricity exports increased by 2.6 times. It is also worth noting that in June 2024, electricity exports were not carried out at all.
Electricity imports in the first month of summer followed an opposite trend: after high volumes at the beginning of the month - peaking on June 9 at 13.7 GWh per day - a decrease in cross-border supplies was observed in the second half. The lowest daily import was recorded on June 16, amounting to just 1.5 GWh.
Despite this, total imports in June rose by 5%, reaching 203.9 GWh (compared to 194.1 GWh in May). Increases in imports were recorded from Slovakia (+35%) and Hungary (+13%), while supplies from other countries declined by 6-25%.
The breakdown of imports by country is as follows:
- Hungary - 87.7 GWh (43%);
- Slovakia - 48.8 GWh (24%);
- Poland - 30 GWh (14.7%);
- Romania - 25.3 GWh (12.4%);
- Moldova - 12 GWh (5.9%).
Compared to the record-high June 2024, when 858.4 GWh were imported, this year’s imports dropped more than 4 times.
