Ukraine resuming electricity exports to Belarus - Timoshenko

KIEV, June 12 (Itar-Tass) -- Ukraine will resume electricity supply to Belarus on Friday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko said after meeting her Belarusian counterpart Sergei Sidorsky.

Earlier, Ukraine planned to start electricity exports to Belarus on June 1, 2009, at the monthly amount of 100 million kilowatt/hours. The issue was discussed by Presidents Viktor Yushchenko and Alexander Lukashenko in January.

Ukraine suspended electricity exports to Belarus in late June 2007 because of uncoordinated pricing.

The delivery of Ukrainian electric power to Belarus would be the first step towards the eventual exports to the Baltic republics.
