Pavel Shkurko, head of the energy and gas supply office of the production and technology department of the Energy Ministry, shared the latest news about the Belarusian nuclear power plant with BelTA.

Pavel Shkurko noted that the first unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant is already up and running, while the second unit is now at the pilot operation stage.

“Working in the base-load operation mode the two units will be able to generate 18.5 billion kWh of electricity and replace 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas. This will increase the country's energy security by diversifying its energy sources. Nuclear energy is already a reality in Belarus,” the specialist noted.
