Belarus signed contracts to import electricity from Ukraine and Russia in 2011. This was reported by Vladimir Korduba, a leading engineer of the operational dispatch management Belenergo. According to him, this year's first supplies of electricity from Russia and Ukraine began at midnight on February 4.

Annual electricity consumption in Belarus is approximately 37 billion kWh. The Belarusian energy system produces about 34 billion kWh of electricity a year, recalled Vladimir Korduba, BelTA informs.

Last year’s imports of electricity to Belarus fell to about 2.97 billion kWh due to increasing its own production and reached 66.3% against 2009. Electricity supplies to Belarus were carried out mainly from Ukraine, as well as from Russia by small amounts.

Electricity supplies to Belarus, in particular the JSC Inter RAO UES, were stopped a year ago due to the power lines repair.
