The energy ministries of Belarus and Russia signed an agreement to approve the rules for the functioning of the unified electricity market of the Union state. The document was signed during the Belarusian Energy and Environment Forum, BelTA reported. Russia's Deputy Minister of Energy Yevgeny Grabchak noted that the issue of fair prices is relevant in the common market. "Belarus has its own power generation volume, just like the central European part of Russia. The competition will make it easier to choose a more efficient option for supplying energy to the end consumer, will enable the selection of optimal solutions, load more efficient capacities, and the choice of supplier will be more economically viable. And the higher the efficiency, the cheaper the electricity will be produced in the market."
