MOSCOW, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Russia's electricity exports and imports are expected to remain at around 10 billion kWh in 2026, roughly unchanged from the previous year, Sergey Dregval, CEO of Russian power company Inter RAO, said Tuesday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
"Kazakhstan and Mongolia will remain the main export destinations, along with deliveries to southern markets, primarily Georgia," Dregval said.
Inter RAO is Russia's sole operator for cross-border electricity trade. The company accounts for 10.6 percent of the country's power generation and 19.3 percent of retail electricity sales, and currently exports electricity to 11 countries.
In 2025, Inter RAO's cross-border electricity trade totaled 9.7 billion kWh, down 6.9 percent from 2024. ■
