<p> MINSK, Nov 9 - PrimePress. The state-owned production association Belenergo has sent notifications to a number of Ukrainian counterparties of its unwillingness to supply electricity in November 2021 based on earlier framework contracts, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported. </p> <p>   </p> <p> Earlier, following a monthly auction for November, 855MW of capacity for imports from Belarus was purchased by NAEC Energoatom, and another 15MW by Electro Community LLC. </p> <p>   </p> <p> According to the agency, the Belarusian side would not approve the physical volumes of imports to Energoatom “because of politics”. </p> <p>   </p> <p> Belenergo is also reportedly not considering new framework contracts for power supply in November. </p> <p>   </p> <p> At the same time, sources told Interfax-Ukraine that traders will continue importing electricity from Belarus to Ukraine under the existing commercial contracts. </p> <p>   </p> <p> As previously reported, Ukraine increased imports of electricity from Belarus since the resumption of commercial supplies on 6 November 2021 from 5 MWh to 400 MWh as of 8 November. The relevant data is published on the website of Ukrenergo. </p> <p>   </p> <p> In the meantime, the Energy Ministry of Belarus informed that Belarus resumed supplies of electricity to Ukraine on commercial basis on 6 November 2021. </p> <p>   </p> <p> “Belarusian electricity supplies to the Ukrainian energy system started on November 6. According to the contract signed, supplies will be carried out during November. The supply schedule was formed by the Belarusian side taking into account the existing technical capabilities: the operation modes of the energy system and capacities of the generating equipment,” the Ministry of Energy's official telegram channel said in a statement.
