Belarus will not import Ukrainian electric energy in near future, Eduard Tovpenets
In the near future Belarus will not import electric energy from Ukraine, BelTA learnt from First Deputy Energy Minister of Belarus Eduard Tovpenets.
According to him, the sides failed to reach the agreement regarding the price. “The price for the Ukrainian electric energy is unacceptable for Belarus as it is higher than the price for the energy generated by Belarusian electric power plants,” Eduard Tovpenets noted.
Belarus generates sufficient amount of electric energy on tis own. Belarus also imports electricity from the Russian Federation, the first deputy minister added.
