National Nuclear Generating Company Energoatom is preparing for exports of electricity to Belarus, Energoatom President Yuriy Nedashkovsky said in Kyiv last week.

"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.
