Since 11 November, electricity exports abroad were completely halted, causing export volumes to fall by 94%.
For the month, only 5.2 thousand MWh were exported — the lowest figure in 2025; compared with November 2024, exports decreased by 91%.
For the second consecutive month, Ukraine remains a net importer of electricity.
In October, imports increased 2.5 times and exceeded 360 thousand MWh.
- In September, power outages resumed due to Russian shelling: initially locally in certain regions, and from October–November they spread across the entire country.
- Ukrenergo does not rule out that the outages may continue throughout the entire winter.
