How does the Belarusian energy complex work? The report on the state of affairs in the sector was presented to the President by the relevant team: the minister, the deputy prime minister and the aide to the head of state.
In general, Alexander Lukashenko spoke positively about the work of the energy sector. Expectations are also high in connection with the implementation of the major investment project in the country's history: the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The commercial operation of the first power unit of the plant is upcoming.
Belarus has long been engaged in the development of electric transport and infrastructure for it. The capacity of the national energy complex is over 10 thousand megawatts. Today it's more than 280 thousand kilometres of power grids. With those grids you can circle the earth seven times around the equator - just try to estimate the scale!

Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus:
There are small things we can complain about, but on the whole, of course, our power engineers are doing a great job.
