Russia is not discussing reverse electricity flow with China and sees no expediency in such purchases. This was stated to TASS by Deputy Minister of Energy Petr Konyushenko.
According to him, Russia had an active contract with the Chinese for the sale of electricity, and there are no other changes. The issue of the possibility of reverse supplies is not on the agenda — the Deputy Minister questioned the expediency of this idea at all.
Konyushenko explained that technically, reverse flow is possible, but there is no need for such purchases. Even taking into account the postponement of the commissioning of hydroelectric power plants in the Far East and a possible energy deficit in the region, Russia will provide for itself, he added.
