Belarus has chosen 22 suitable locations, where up to 2,000 wind power stations can be installed. First Deputy Minister for Natural Resources and Environment Protection Iya Malkina made a statement to this effect at the 21st Belarusian Energy and Ecology Congress.
With 2,000 wind power stations made operational, Belarus could save up to 1 million tons of equivalent fuel.
The government’s innovative development program suggests establishing several wind power parks in Belarus: near Novogrudok, Oshmyany, Smorgon, Liozno, Dzerzhinsk with a total rated capacity of 1,600 MW. (Prime-TASS/Business World Magazine)
