Zelensky predicts lower electricity prices, but the war has made adjustments

Necessary technical issues are difficult to resolve quickly in the face of armed aggression by Russia.

As a result of the recent accession to the European energy network ENTSO-E, electricity prices in Ukraine will be reduced, but during the war it will be difficult for our country to resolve some technical issues quickly. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Polish media.

“Ukraine's accession to the European market will lead to lower electricity prices, which will benefit consumers. At the same time, there are still a number of technical issues that are difficult to resolve quickly in the face of armed aggression by Russia, “the presidential press service recounts the details of the interview. Zelensky stressed that during the war our state passed the test this year – for some time disconnected from the Russian and Belarusian energy systems and should join the EU energy system next year, but it happened in 2022.

“We had to show the European Union that we were ready. And we were ready. This probationary period – so it happened – has become permanent, we have joined these networks. Yes, it will help Ukraine a lot, “the President said.

Zelensky is convinced that Ukraine, for its part, will also help European countries in energy supply.

“Atomic generation in our country is very large. We will be able to sell electricity at normal prices, and not do it artificially for other countries to earn something, “he said.

It will be recalled that Ukraine is not going to raise electricity prices for the population during the war . This was stated by the Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko.
