Energy and Coal Industry Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn has said that the privileged price of electricity for companies that export it could be set.

"There are some measures that could stimulate exports. We should meet the interests of those who will increase exports from the point of the tariff of electricity they buy [from state enterprise Energomarket]. Of course, not at the loss of Energomarket," he told reporters in Kyiv on Tuesday.

He said that the hryvnia devaluation could positively influence the volumes of electricity exports.

As reported, earlier electricity exporters were exempted from buying subsidy certificates, although the practice was revoked to form the equal conditions for all energy market players.
