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.

"There are many things to do for our electricity be competitive on the Belarusian market. For purchase of electricity from Energomarket without grant certificates decisions of the regulator and government are required," he said.
