Kabyakau Offers Poland Energy of the Belarusian NPP

Thus, the Belarusian government hopes to sell energy of an unsafe NPP.

Belarus offers Poland cooperation in the energy deliveries to the EU countries.

Prime Minister of Belarus Andrei Kabyakau stated that at the meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Development and Finance of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki, BelTA informs.

"Belarus plans to introduce the first unit of a nuclear power plant into service in 2018. I think we could successfully cooperate in the energy supply to the European Union and the Polish side could take advantage of this power or transit it to the European Union, the head of the Belarusian government said. - Anyway, this topic has thoroughly been studied, and I think it has future".

It will be recalled that Lithuania speaking against the construction of the Belarusian NPP, called on neighboring countries not to buy electricity there. Lithuanian Minister of Energy Rokas Masiulis addressed to ministers of Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Finland with the proposal to discuss the purchase of electricity from the third countries, which built unsafe nuclear power plants.

"We must make it clear that the electricity produced in violation of the international regulations of nuclear safety, security and inter-state environmental impact assessment will not be accepted in the European Union (EU). Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the matter promptly and in detail - first at the regional, and then at the EU level, and make decisions to ensure the same conditions of energy trade with these countries", the letter to the Ministers of Economy and Energy of four countries from 23 December 2015 says.
