A long-term development goal of the Belarusian fuel and energy complex is to satisfy the needs of the Belarusian economy and households in energy sources by means of promoting their effective use and reducing the burden on the environment.

Belarus President Directive No.3 on priority areas of strengthening the country’s economic security of 14 June 2007 sets forth that energy security should be achieved by means of developing domestic energy sources, diversifying fuel and energy resources by types and countries, and reducing energy intensity of the gross domestic product.

Belarus is a member (a partner) of many integration associations that seek to find joint solutions to geopolitical, technological, economic, environmental and other issues of the fuel and energy complex.

By implementing the existing agreements, Belarus acts as a reliable partner in energy transit and an active participant in efforts to reduce air pollutant emissions. The country has achieved high results in efficient use of fuel and energy resources.

Belarus has built its first nuclear power plant with the total output capacity of two power-generating units at 2,400MW.

The project will help enhance the country’s energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The BelNPP helps satisfy the growing demand for electricity of the population and the real production sector. The project stimulates the development of other high-tech industries such as metallurgy and additive technologies, production of energy storage systems, radiation medicine, IT technologies, including resource intensive apps for artificial intelligence, supercomputing, big data operations.
