5 Key facts and figures cont EuropeAid/129710/C/SER/BY project Support for implementation of complex energy policy in Belarus, final conference, 27 November 2012, Minsk: In general, the Energy branch in Belarus is a powerful, successful, gradually developing system which provides a sufficient level of reliability and some sustainability. At the same time it is characterized by significant asymmetry in prices. There is a good basis for reforms similar to those which took place or are on the way in many developing countries in America, Asia and f. USSR. The reform has to be aimed at increasing the economic efficiency, payback and reliability of supply. There is a very reason to hope for a success in implementation of the Strategy for developing the Energy potential in Belarus (appr. by the Council of Ministers of Belarus in August 2010). However, Ar 80% of fuel and energy resources is imported Local resources of fossil fuel are depleted up to 80-90% Depreciation of fixed assets in % (with a slight progress in the last years, e.g %) Energy intensity of GDP 0,29 (2009) 5

6 Energy policy priorities ensuring security of energy supply in the economy and social sphere; improving the efficiency of energy resources use; reducing the use of natural gas as a dominant fuel in the electricity industry through construction of atomic power station, increased use of renewable sources of energy; increase in the use of local fuels; optimization of the energy systems modes, etc. The strategic goal is a reduction of the energy intensity of GDP of 50% by 2015 and of 60% by 2020 (from the level of 2005) and providing the energy security of the country. Share of local fuels and renewables in the total needs of the economy in gross consumption should consist at least 28% in 2015 and 32% by

7 Key legal acts in energy efficiency and renewables Law of the Republic of Belarus On energy saving (1998, last amendments ) Law of the Republic of Belarus On renewable energy sources (2010) Directive of the President of the Republic of Belarus 3 Economy and thrift are the main factors of the economic security of the state (2007, hereafter referred to as Directive 3) Concept of Energy Security of the Republic of Belarus (2007, second edition was adopted in 2014) Strategy of Energy Potential Development (2010); Republican Program for Energy Saving for (2010); National program Developing of local, renewable and nonconventional energy sources for (2011) other sector and regional programs. 7
