Power exports in March alone grew by 15% from March 2015, to 0.449 billion kWh, the ministry said.

As UNIAN reported earlier, unable to supply enough coal to domestic thermal power plants, Ukraine saw a 68.8% reduction in foreign currency earnings from power exports in 2015 compared to 2014, from $487.2 million to $150.1 million.

UNIAN's memo. Such Ukrainian companies as Rinat Akhmetov's DTEK, Donbasenergo, PJSC Zakarpattiaoblenergo and Energy Resources of Ukraine (ERU) Trading sell Ukrainian electricity abroad.
