Belarus does not have a single independent energy regulatory authority. The Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade is responsible for regulating electricity and heat tariffs for industrial customers, independent suppliers and all categories other than residential consumers, based on the 2011 Decree on Price Tariffs.
The main emphasis in Belarus is on increasing the use of wood fuel, as it requires less capital investment than other types of renewable energy. Fuel from woody biomass (i.e. rough wood, pellets, chips and briquettes) is produced locally using modern harvesting and wood-chipping equipment.
Solar power potential is significant, mainly in the south and southeast of the country. In terms of global horizontal irradiation (GHI) and direct normal irradiation (DNI), most of Belarus receives only 1 100 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m 2) to 1 400 kWh/m 2 of GHI, and around 1 000 kWh/m 2 of DNI.
On 1 September 2013, the STB ISO 50001-2013 standard on energy management systems became valid in Belarus. Unlike energy audits, it is voluntary for organisations to implement an energy management system.
In accordance with Presidential Decree No. 583 of December 2013, the Republican Unitary Enterprise Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant performs the functions of holder and operating organisation for commissioning, operations, performance control, lifetime extension and decommissioning of the Belarusian NPP.
Hydropower resources in Belarus are deemed scarce, though there are opportunities for small hydro in the northern and central parts of the country. Total hydropower potential is estimated at 850 MW, including technically available potential of 520 MW and economically viable potential of 250 MW (0.44 Mtoe/year).
