This was announced today within the framework of the forum on the development of electric transport by Minister of Energy Viktor Karankevich. Fresh nuclear fuel has already been loaded into the reactor core and hydro tests have been completed. The first kilowatt-hours are planned to be received in November. Meanwhile, in order to popularize environmentally friendly transport, the number of car charging stations in the country is also growing: this year alone, more than 140 such devices will be operational.
Viktor Karankevich, Minister of Energy of Belarus: "The number of electric transport has doubled in the last two quarters. It exceeded 1200 units. The Ministry of Energy also calculated that because of the increase in electric transport to 10 000, the volume of electricity consumption will be about 80 million kilowatt-hours. This is quite a significant value. We see that the market of the Republic of Belarus will be promising for the development of electric transport, taking into account the rapid development of technologies."
