Resumen:

This paper attempts to analyze impacts of the COVID-19 and associated lockdowns on the Ukrainian and Hungarian energy sectors, focusing on changes in electricity consumption patterns, share of renewables in energy balance, and readiness of the national power systems in the face of future possible global health crises. Specifically, this work draws parallels between electricity usage, national quarantine restrictions and changes in economical, business, social, and industrial activities. The challenges of rising installed capacity and generating potential of alternative energy sources are discussed with regards to reduced energy demands during the pandemic. The results of this study can be of potential interest for policymakers, regional transmission organizations and stakeholders to prepare for similar situations in future.
