— Environmental issues are rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. Advanced standards are being implemented, and it is particularly pleasing to note that in our country, thanks to the tireless efforts of our Department of Energy Efficiency and everyone present in this hall, we see significant progress.

First Deputy Director General – Chief Engineer of Belenergo, Mikhail Shevaldin, emphasized the role of energy as a driver of the Belarusian economy. In addition to reliability, a key requirement for a modern energy system is its cost-effectiveness.

— And the "Energy Efficiency Leader" competition confirms that Belarus is an energy-efficient country with many advanced technologies and high labor productivity. Such competitions are very important. They allow us to see where we are heading, set new goals for ourselves, and implement increasingly efficient and economical energy-saving technologies.
