Rozwój lokalnych i odnawialnych źródeł energii na Białorusi. Stan obecny i perspektywy
Development of local and renewable energy sources in Byelorussia. Current situation and prospects

Summary/Abstract: In 2010, Byelorussia undertook an ambitious plan to reduce dependence of its en-ergy sector on supplies of Russian energy sources. In accordance with the adapted concept, participation of local fuels in the country’s energy balance is to increase from 20.7% in 2010 to 32% in 2020. Implementation of the strategy for increasing participation of local and renewable energy sources in the country’s energy and fuel balance encounters numerous problems. Insufficient financial resources, cor-ruption scandals in the background, and problems with finding foreign investors seem to jeopardise chances for implementation of the government strategy con-cerning the renewable energy sources. Thus, Byelorussia will still remain a coun-try strongly dependant on supplies of Russian natural gas.
