In March 2025, Ukraine significantly increased its electricity exports, showing a 2.3-fold increase compared to the previous month. According to the Ukrainian energy and climate think tank DiXi Group, exports reached 76.3 thousand MWh, which significantly exceeds the February figure of 33.1 thousand MWh.

The increase in exports is an important indicator of improving the stability of Ukraine's energy system, which is able to meet not only domestic needs, but also contribute to energy security in the region. At the same time, electricity imports also increased, indicating dynamic changes in the energy resources market. Imports for March amounted to 272.3 thousand MWh, which is 11% more compared to 244.2 thousand MWh in February.

The distribution of export volumes by direction is important. The largest volume of electricity was delivered to Hungary — 50% of total exports, which is 38.1 thousand MWh. Moldova received 23% (17.8 thousand MWh), Romania — 15% (11.1 thousand MWh), Slovakia — 11% (8.4 thousand MWh), and Poland — only 1% (1 thousand MWh).

Electricity imports, in turn, are also distributed among several countries. Hungary received 42% of total imports — 113.8 thousand MWh. Slovakia accounted for 19% (52.7 thousand MWh), Poland for 18% (48.1 thousand MWh), Romania for 16% (44.6 thousand MWh), and Moldova for 5% (13.2 thousand MWh).

The growth in exports indicates a gradual recovery of Ukraine's energy sector after difficult periods associated with the war. This can also serve as a basis for developing energy ties with neighboring countries and contribute to stability in the regional energy market.

Experts emphasize that such an increase in exports is an important step in ensuring Ukraine's energy security and its economic development, as the release of surplus electricity to the international market helps strengthen the country's energy balance.

Given current trends, the growth in both electricity exports and imports in Ukraine can be seen as a positive signal for energy stability, which, in turn, can have a significant impact on the country's economic recovery and development in a war-torn country.
