MOSCOW, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Russia plans to export about
12 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of eletric power each year until
2030, power grid firm System Operator said on Wednesday, citing
data from InterRAO, the company that handles power exports and
imports.
    After 2030, the operator expects annual exports to fall to
10.6 billion kWh, it said. Kazakhstan and China will be the main
markets for Russian power exports.
    Last year, Russian power exports dropped to 10.7 billion kWh
from 13.6 kWh a year earlier as the European Union halted
purchases due to anti-Russian sanctions.
