Energy Policy
Belarus has a comprehensive Energy Policy that focuses on several key areas:
Energy Independence: Belarus aims to reduce its dependence on imported energy resources by diversifying its energy mix and increasing domestic energy production. This includes developing renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and exploring domestic fossil fuel reserves.
Energy Efficiency: The country is committed to improving energy efficiency across all sectors. This involves implementing energy-saving measures, promoting energy-efficient technologies, and raising awareness about energy conservation.
Renewable Energy Development: Belarus is actively working to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix. The government has set targets for the development of wind, solar, biomass, and other renewable sources, and provides incentives such as feed-in tariffs and tax exemptions to encourage investment in renewable energy projects.
Energy Security: Ensuring a reliable and secure energy supply is a priority for Belarus. The country aims to enhance its energy infrastructure, diversify energy sources, and establish strategic reserves to mitigate potential disruptions in the energy supply.
International Cooperation: Belarus actively participates in international energy cooperation initiatives and seeks partnerships with other countries to enhance energy security, promote technology transfer, and share best practices in the energy sector.
These policies reflect Belarus' commitment to modernizing its energy sector, promoting sustainable development, and ensuring a stable and affordable energy supply for its citizens.
