MOSCOW, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Russian electricity producer EuroSibEnergo will start premarketing its initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong on Nov.15, hoping to raise around $1.5 billion, market sources told Reuters on Friday. EuroSibEnergo, part of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's empire, had expected to achieve a valuation of $8 billion several months ago, however, taking into account the current market's environment, it has reduced this to about $6 billion.
