According to Kommersant, the document says that the export forecast is based on Inter RAO data.

According to the document, the expected volume of deliveries from Russia to Finland in 2023 can be up to 4 billion kWh, and to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia - 2.4 billion kWh.

Meanwhile, independent analyst Yuri Melnikov expressed the opinion that the resumption of exports to the EU countries is an unlikely scenario, contrary to public statements by representatives of the authorities and energy companies of the EU countries.

Earlier, the Financial Times made a forecast for 2023, suggesting that European countries could face power outages in the new year.

The material says that power outages can occur until April, provided that the weather is cold.

However, the authors of the article emphasize, the winter period will become “more challenging” due to problems with filling gas storage facilities, since gas flows from Russia in 2023 will be “close to zero”.
