Perspektywy modernizacji białoruskiej energetyki w latach 2011–2016
Modernisation prospects for the Byelorussian energy system in the years 2011–2016

Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts to estimate chances for modernisation of the Byelorussian en-ergy system in the years 2011–2016. In accordance with the government strategy, in 2015 Byelorussia is to become an energy independent country. The ambitious government plan provides for modernisation of several tens of power facilities. It also aims at reducing the dependence of the domestic energy sector on Russian energy sources. However, the modernisation plans of the energy system include a significant risk, as their financing largely depends on obtaining foreign loans.The current implementation rate of the government strategy indicates that chanc-es for modernising the outdated Byelorussian energy system are small. Only com-missioning of a nuclear power plant will end Byelorussian problems with electric power shortages
