NEURC Approved the Rules for Long-Term Allocation of Cross-Border Transmission Capacity between Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania
On July 29, 2025, the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission of Ukraine (NEURC) adopted a resolution “On the Approval of the Rules for Long-Term Allocation of Cross-Border Transmission Capacity of Ukraine.”
According to information provided by NPC Ukrenergo, the transmission system operators of Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania have agreed to introduce a medium-term (monthly) joint coordinated allocation of cross-border transmission capacity at Ukraine’s borders, based on the Joint Allocation Office (JAO) electronic auction platform.
This decision expands opportunities for electricity export-import operations through cross-border interconnections with the member states of the Energy Community, while strengthening Ukraine’s energy security and grid stability. At the same time, it confirms NEURC’s strategic orientation toward adapting regulatory policy to European standards.
The introduction of a coordinated monthly capacity allocation mechanism through the JAO platform opens access to electricity trading with Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania on new, more favorable terms for Ukraine.
