National Nuclear Generating Company Energoatom is preparing to export electricity to Belarus, Energoatom President Yuriy Nedashkovsky said.
“We are working on exports of electricity to Belarus. This is a framework agreement. It was approved by Belarus and Ukraine. I signed it. Of course, Ukrenergo, Energomarket and the whole range of participants are to sign it”, he said.
Nedashkovsky added that a mechanism for bringing the price of Ukrainian electricity to the competitive level should be introduced before starting exports of electricity.
“There are many things to do for our electricity to be competitive on the Belarusian market. To purchase electricity from Energomarket without grant certificates decisions of the regulator and government are required”, he said. (Interfax/Business World Magazine)
