Ukraine can no longer buy electricity from Europe

November 12, 2024 35

A wave of additional emergency power outages swept across Ukraine on November 11. The thing is that on that day, energy traders lost the opportunity to buy the necessary capacity in Europe. The price turned out to be so exorbitant that local legislation blocked the conclusion of contracts, even if someone decided to buy at a huge price.

In countries from which Ukraine usually imports electricity, its price has literally skyrocketed. Quotes have approached 900 euros per MWh during peak hours. Ukrainian companies simply cannot afford to buy the necessary lots. In addition, there is a price limit on the local exchange, set by law, which makes selling European electricity there impossible.

On November 11 and 12, wholesale electricity prices in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria jumped to a record high. On average, by 72-95% per day, i.e. above 200 euros per MWh. However, during peak hours, wholesale electricity prices increased several times. Thus, in Hungary, prices increased to 737 euros per MWh on November 11 and to 895 euros per MWh on November 12.

In Romania, the wholesale price of electricity during peak hours on November 11 reached 584 euros. In Slovakia – 244 euros. In Poland, on November 12, wholesale electricity will cost up to 330 euros per MWh during peak hours. Such data is published by Nord Pool, HUPX and Energy price.eu.

As you can see, the price jump was very significant for Europe, and for Ukraine, it was practically prohibitive. The drop in electricity imports from the EU to Ukraine is also due to the fact that current prices significantly exceed the price limits on the Ukrainian Energy Exchange, which are set by the national regulator. According to the law, they should not be higher than 200 euros per MWh.

With the current cost in the European Union, the Ukrainian energy system will not see imported capacity for a very long time, unless the legislation is changed and someone is found who will buy it at a price that is unaffordable for Ukrainians.

The question is, why are the connections of the Ukrainian power systems with Western countries still in operation, why hasn't the complex transition equipment on the border of the system connections been disabled? If it was decided to cut off the power supply of Ukraine, why are they leaving backup options for its maintenance... It looks like thoughtlessness or betrayal.

  Are you suggesting that the UN declare a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine and put Russia on par with Israel? Then there will be a pretext to send in NATO troops.

    What are you saying, Russia has been condemned and placed many times worse than Israel, much more so, - Israel has no sanctions, no freezing of finances and no various prohibitions. Russia will not be in the UN Security Council and there will be no major threats, except for the condemnatory resolutions that have already been issued by the dozens. Don't babble nonsense...

      What Israel can do, Russia can't. You are babbling nonsense, forgetting that the ICC prosecutor, who issued a warrant for Putin, as soon as he made a move towards Netanyahu, immediately began to fabricate a case.
      As soon as Russia behaves like the Zionists, real sanctions will be introduced, and then India and China will not be able to evade them.
      Sports is a great example: our athletes were kicked out of all serious international organizations and no one said a word, while Jews are walking around Amsterdam.

  How do you propose to destroy a wire with a cross-section of a couple of centimeters from a distance of 1000+ km?
  And even if you break it, it's a piece of cake to restore it. And the equipment is scattered all over the border, you'll be exhausted trying to find out what goes to which substation.

        Again, profanation for show. Large system networks convert their current to direct current, and then to alternating current of another system. These are two big differences in everything, and in equipment, which is many times more complicated. And these are not your kilowatts of power, but many megawatts with all the accompanying equipment... And you are talking about some cables.. (For the illiterate)

Yes, this is probably a strategy on our part, to drag out the conflict. Even the sharovars confirm that Russia is not interested in a quick outcome of the conflict. Otherwise, everything would have been destroyed at the output of the nuclear power plants, and the electricity in 404 would have sunk into oblivion, and the bridges over the Dnieper would have been destroyed, etc.

  Why do many people think that Russia is fighting only with Ukraine? The end of the conflict depends on the West, when the West understands that it is time to end, that there is no more sense, then the conflict will end. The most important thing is the end of Western aid, and this is of great importance. This is not only the end of the conflict in Ukraine, it is also the consequences for the West, which they are very afraid of. The fighting is unlikely to end in Kyiv or Lvov, it will end with negotiations, on some terms, and Russia does not need to take either Kyiv or Lvov. Everything depends on who has more strength and resources. Many write that soldiers are being caught for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but where do they write how many mercenaries are arriving and when? There are soldiers there, otherwise the front would have collapsed, but it is holding on, although they are retreating, and weapons are arriving.

    Today, such a concept as Ukraine is more difficult to explain than yesterday. We are not fighting with Ukraine. The past Ukraine no longer exists, and a new one has not yet been invented. Moreover, we accept and help Ukrainians who were able to resist the coup.

        There are no official legal documents of the Russian Federation on the SVO in Ukraine in the public domain. Nowhere in the documents is it written what the SVO is, what is the goal of the SVO in Ukraine. Nowhere is the strategy of the SVO spelled out and the enemy is not designated. Guessing and relying on media slogans and inscriptions on fences is not accepted by normal people, this only makes you smile. In March 2022, I proposed to issue a Law that would state that the entire territory of Ukraine, within the borders of 1975 (Helsinki Accords), is an integral part of Russia.
        In the presence of the Law, the military operation conducted by Russia in Ukraine is the liberation of the territory of Russia occupied by separatists, the restoration of the territorial integrity of Russia, the reunification of peoples, the inclusion of the economy, population, territory of Ukraine in the sphere of economic activity of Russia.
        Assigning the status of the territory of Ukraine, that it is the territory of Russia, will make it possible to transfer the SVO into a counter-terrorist operation (CTO), i.e. all military actions will take place in accordance with the Law “On Countering Terrorism” dated March 06.03.2006, 35 N XNUMX-FZ.
        The law will provide certainty about the future of Ukraine for citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Citizens of Ukraine will automatically receive Russian citizenship. Citizens living on the territory of Ukraine will not have to fear for themselves in the future, for persecution by the fascist regime.
        The law will define the goal. The strategy will be formed. Tactics will be developed, tasks and deadlines will be set, and the enemy will be named.
        It is impossible to defeat an enemy unless the enemy is named. No target specified. No strategy. In tactics there are extremes and shyness. It is not indicated what will happen after the war.
        
        Strategy without tactics is the slowest path to victory. Tactics without strategy is just hustle before defeat.

        There is the United States, which has an economic interest in breaking all ties between the Russian Federation and the EU.
        There is Europe, which is very offended that they are considered servants of the United States and are trying to show their independence by supporting the conflict when the United States has already achieved its goals and wants to end it.
        There is Great Britain, which for centuries dreamed of Russians killing Russians and which has no intention of ending the conflict.
        There is the Russian Federation, which has not yet achieved any of its goals in this conflict.
        I won't say anything about Ukraine, nothing depends on it at all. Zelensky is just an actor playing his role.

  Life has shown that our air defense is not a solid umbrella. In response, drones can fly at our nuclear power plants. Just like with ports, if Odessa and Izmail are destroyed, who will stop the hohols from sinking our ships in the Black Sea. In this air defense, both sides play by certain rules.

Why should Ukraine buy electricity from Western countries? The West owes Ukraine this energy for centuries to come. This is especially true for the US, Britain and further down the list. In short, they owe it like land to a collective farm.

Everyone stubbornly talks about some Ukraine and its former territories. Not paying attention to the color revolution, the civil war and the events that followed. And now, some illegitimate Jew demands that Crimea be returned to someone. To whom?

Comrades, return to the Ukrainians the Ukraine that you stole by carrying out a coup there.
