It is reported that National energy company Ukrenergo has sold 100 MW of electricity to export to Moldova from July 1 to July 31 2011 at an auction for access to the Ukrainian power grid.

Ukrenergo said that two 50 MW lots were sold to Power Trade Ltd for UAH 1,000 per lot. Six 1,350 MW lots of electricity to export to Russia and three 350 MW lots of electricity to export to Belarus and four 350 MW lots of electricity to export to Moldova were removed from the auction due to the absence of demand on them.
