| Summary: | This report contributes to government
efforts by reviewing current standings of the electricity
and gas sectors and developing policy recommendations in
order to mitigate the impact of gas price increases on the
energy sector. Furthermore, the report discusses options for
Belarus to strengthen its energy security and maximize
benefits from its strategic energy transit location. The
report is organized into four sections: (a) assuring
sustainable functioning of the electricity and gas sectors;
(b) achieving further progress in energy efficiency; (c)
diversifying energy supply; and (d) maximizing gas transit
benefits. In addition, three appendixes are included. The
first appendix describes the Belarus status under the Kyoto
Protocol and lists the actions to be completed by the end of
2006. The second appendix provides an indicative list of
secondary legislation to complement the legal framework to
be established by the law of the republic of Belarus on
non-traditional and renewable energy resources; the appendix
also reviews various types of renewable energy subsidies.
The third appendix develops recommendations on how to
increase the production of fuel wood in a sustainable and
rational manner. |
