Wind power in Belarus

[1] In a September 2022 article, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) highlighted the country's efforts to prioritize carbon-neutral technologies in its energy mix to reduce reliance on imports.

The UNDP, in collaboration with Belarus, studied measures to encourage private investment in wind power, aiming to advance climate goals under the Paris Agreement.

The best conditions for wind power are observed on the hills near Navahrudak, Oshmiansk [uk], Minsk, and Orsha.

Such an amount of generated energy allows us to save 4.5 million cubic meters of gas per year (700 000-800 000 dollars).

[6] In 2017, there were about 47 facilities in the country where wind turbines are operated with a total installed capacity of 84 MW.
