Aksenov is sure there won’t be power outages in Crimea

Power outages in Crimea in the next year are not expected,q the head of the republic Sergey Aksenov said, commenting on the signing of contracts for the supply of electricity between Russia and Ukraine.

"Blackouts this year and next year will not happen. I am sure that in 2015 all the issues directly related to the energy supply of the Republic of Crimea, we will decide. The tasks are being carried out by us in full," Aksenov is quoted by TASS.

As previously reported by Vestnik Kavkaza, the Russian company "Inter RAO" and "Ukrinterenergo" signed a contract for electricity exports from Russia to Ukraine. The parties also agreed on ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supplies to Crimea. This was reported on Tuesday by the Department of Energy of the Russian Federation.
