SEPS announces cessation of emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine – Slovak media

Martin Magat, Director of the Slovak transmission system operator SEPS, has announced the intention to terminate the contract for emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine, Slovak publication Dennik N reported on Wednesday, citing Magat.

"The state electricity company will terminate the contract for emergency electricity supplies with the Ukrainian company Ukrenergo. This was stated by the head of the state company, Martin Magat, after a government meeting," the publication wrote.

According to the head of SEPS, Ukraine last received emergency supplies in January. At the same time, no information regarding this specific development is currently available on the official SEPS website.

As claimed by Dennik N, the request for contract termination was submitted by Prime Minister Robert Fico and was approved by the Slovak government on Wednesday.

As previously reported, on February 23, Fico posted on X that he would fulfill his promise to stop emergency electricity aid to Ukraine if it did not restore the transit of Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline.

"I have fulfilled what I declared on Saturday: ‘If oil supplies to Slovakia are not restored by Monday, I will ask SEPS, the state-owned joint-stock company, to halt emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine,’" he wrote.

Ukrenergo, at whose request SEPS is obliged to provide emergency assistance under inter-operator agreements, utilizes emergency aid from other countries as one of the mechanisms to balance the power system when internal generation resources are exhausted.

Starting January 3, 2026, the capacity limit for electricity imports from EU countries to Ukraine and Moldova stands at 2.45 GW, a record level since Ukraine’s synchronization with the continental European ENTSO-E network. Taking into account that part of the import capacity is directed to Moldova, approximately 2.1 GW of commercial import is available for Ukraine.
