Belarus plans to import 300 million kWh of electricity from Russia in Sep 2021
MINSK, Sep 21 - PrimePress. Belarus plans to import 300 million kWh of electricity from Russia in September 2021, the Energy Ministry of Belarus said in a statement.
“In September Belarus intends to import from Russia a total of about 300 million kWh of electricity,” the report says.
Electricity imports are economically justified and based on economic viability, the ministry said. “Belarus imports Russian electricity as an additional measure to ensure reliable power supply ahead of the autumn-winter period.

Electricity is imported depending on its economic advisability and electricity import in this case is economically advisable,” the ministry said.
There are no plans to import Russian electricity in October, the Belarusian Energy Ministry said.
