KIEV, March 16 - Ukraine in January and February decreased electricity exports by 37.7% or by 371.2 million kilowatt-hours, to 614.7 million kilowatt-hours, the Energy and Coal Industry Ministry announced.

The fall was due to there being no exports to Belarus in January, along with a fall in electricity exports to European countries due to a malfunction at the Burshtyn thermal power plant in February, the ministry said.
