In the field of energy saving, the Vitebsk region is solving several strategic tasks
This year, Belarus is celebrating the International Energy Saving Day for the fifteenth time.
Vitebsk region is not standing aside from the celebration.
In the field of energy saving, Vitebsk region is solving several strategic tasks, such as reducing the energy intensity of manufactured products, which increases their competitiveness, as well as reducing the republic's energy dependence on imported energy resources by maximizing the involvement of local energy resources in the fuel balance, including production waste, secondary energy resources, and the use of energy from renewable sources.
Thanks to the systematically carried out work on the implementation of energy-efficient measures, 615 thousand tons of conventional fuel have been saved in the region over the past ten years. The share of local energy resources in the total balance of boiler and furnace fuel of housing and communal services organizations has reached 70.2%. The indicator of replacing heat networks with pre-insulated pipes from the total length is 80.1%. The region's hydroelectric power plants generate about 250 million kWh per year, replacing 77 million m3 of natural gas.
The education system of the region plays a leading role in the process of forming skills of careful and economical attitude to energy resources in the younger generation.
The republican competition "Energy Marathon", which originated in the Vitebsk land, carries the mission of forming an understanding of the importance of energy saving, energy efficiency, and the use of environmentally friendly energy sources in the younger generation.
The ideology of energy saving is aimed at improving the environmental situation in the country and the world. Modern society consumes more and more energy, which is associated with the growth of the Earth's population, the modernization of their housing, as well as the scaling up of industrial production.
Energy saving is the main tool for ensuring the energy security of the state. Energy security implies the protection of the country and its citizens from the threat of energy deficit, as well as from disruptions in the stability and uninterrupted supply of fuel and
Energy saving today is not a tribute to modern traditions, but a necessity.
The Vitebsk Regional Inspectorate for the Rational Use of Fuel and Energy Resources of the Department for Energy Efficiency congratulates everyone on Energy Saving Day and thanks every specialist, from enterprises and organizations to local authorities, who are concerned about the saving and rational use of energy resources and the active implementation of energy-efficient measures.
