[000:00:00;00] there are no dangers in terms of nuclear safety, that is, all issues in terms of ensuring nuclear reduction safety, they have been resolved, with regard to the same positive conclusions of the supervisory authorities, if there are positive conclusions, this once again confirms that everyone in their own part clearly confirms the safe, reliable operation of equipment systems in general at stations. well, it has already sounded that we are discussing either building another belos, or another power unit, another one, which is operating here in ostrovets, in general, this topic is still being discussed, or we have already come to some , let’s say, consensus, we are working on this issue, there are instructions, and we must prepare an appropriate feasibility study, this is painstaking work that will affect all aspects, including technical , organizationally, economically, and we are now

working on this, according to calculations. rosatom of our energy ministry, by the end of the year, about 25% of the country’s electricity will be generated at belas. as a result, our share of nuclear energy will be higher than in the uk, canada, russia and the usa. and with the roof of the second power unit, we will cover internal energy needs by 40%. well, with rosatom, yes, we are building beloes, cooperation has been said more than once that it is long-term and that it is the second one. the block is not being completed, today there is some kind of long-term plan, i don’t know, for 5 years, for 2 years, for 10 years with rosatom, where we will cooperate more closely. of course, taking into account the commissioning of facilities at the belarusian nuclear power plant, our relationship will only expand, and if we take the nuclear power plant itself station, then these are issues of technical support, scientific support, operation of the belarusian nuclear power plant, in this regard, we are together

constructively, cooperation in issues and operation of plants, in particular, on september 1, an agreement was signed on the possibility of jointly forming and using the safety stock of the repair exchange fund of the rosenergoatom concern and the belarusian nuclear power plant and this agreement signed between these economic entities will once again be confirmed. solutions to various issues related to the operation of the facility, these are issues of extending the increase in individual equipment there are about 48 items of capital equipment, the warranty period, the further operation of the first second power unit, this is also an element of further mutually beneficial cooperation, the reliability of the operation of the station, all these issues, they will be fixed in a separate protocol, and

the corresponding draft protocol. has already been prepared to amend the 2011 intergovernmental agreement on the construction of the belarusian nuclear power plant, these are the points they will already be reflected there, but also the issues of radioactive waste management, this is also the direction in which we will cooperate with them, interact, it is very important for us to know their experience, their technologies, to study in the future the possibility of using them at home in the republic of belarus. is it an honor to be in the club of powers where there is an ac, nuclear powers? of course, this is an element of increasing the country’s energy independence, this is also the diversification of supplies and types of energy resources, reducing dependence on carbohydrate fuels, of course, only 32 countries where there are nuclear power units, where the production of electrical energy is carried out using peaceful atoms and the republic of belarus is among these countries, i can

say that the demand for the development and construction of nuclear power plants and nuclear units is growing, and magatet also confirmed this in the form of quantity statements of countries that were submitted, well, at the previous year at the general conference of the igt, a record number of countries that submitted a statement of intent to build the construction of their own nuclear power plants, 50 countries, including 20 countries of the european union , and those who were opposed to the development of nuclear energy are now an active participant in the formation of their own national energy programs, in which their own nuclear power plant will be included in the fuel and energy balance. considering the profitability of the project? of course, this is an environmentally friendly, reliable, economical source of energy for the decade

ahead, and the republic of belarus is already... using this, the station works for the country’s economy and brings a tangible effect. belarus and russia are working to create common markets for oil and petroleum products, electricity, and gas. we are talking about equals. conditions for business entities, this will stabilize the cost of energy resources, and also strengthen the energy security of the union state. viktor mikhailovich, well, we know that this evening you are flying directly to st. petersburg , an international gas forum has already opened there, in general , we are actively cooperating with russia within the framework of signed union programs, on the same energy common market, which we are creating, a lot has already been done today? yes, with our russian colleagues we continue to work on the formation of united markets for gas and electricity, for electricity, a project has been prepared, an interstate agreement, it has been agreed upon with our russian colleagues, and has been agreed upon with government authorities, in

the prescribed manner, it has already been included in council of ministers, work is also actively underway to agree on the rules for the functioning of the united market, and by the end of the year the electric energy market we must also... complete this work in terms of preparing relevant projects, agreed upon projects, documents. for gas for 2023-25, the price conditions have been determined, we are now working in these conditions, within the framework of the union state, the relevant documents have been adopted, these are amendments to inter-legal agreements, and the corresponding protocol has been signed with pjsc gazprom, in the future our work will be organized by the preparation of principles ...working conditions for business entities, exactly after 2025, and the most important task is

further rapprochement and reaching equal economic conditions for the subjects of the two countries, well, it turns out that our enterprises should benefit from the creation of these common markets and , as it were, equal operating conditions in the two countries, it turns out that in terms of price, we say that within the framework of the union. .. states , we must come to equal economic conditions, and this, accordingly , increases the competitiveness of not only the republic of belarus, we say this increases the competitive ability of the union state as a whole, and, accordingly, this also the possibility of entering a joint venture into a third country, increasing sales volumes of products that are in demand not only in the republic of belarus, but outside the republic of belarus and the union state, well, you always communicate with the russians on... you always communicate, probably in st. -st. petersburg at the forum, at this international forum, and also on union programs , in general, how do you assess this negotiation process, it is always possible to reach an agreement, or let’s say this is a field where there are many different opinions of disputes, or all that

it’s going smoothly, well, in any case , we are having negotiations, there are difficult issues, but we are moving step by step to develop agreed approaches, which we then consolidate in the relevant documents. or in draft documents, and this will make it possible in the future, already at the stage of negotiations and the formation and development of agreed approaches, to then ensure effective functioning, work on these documents, but still, according to the union programs , we are moving on time or while there is a backlog, then what we are doing what we planned, in just 2 year, the share of electric cars on the world market increased from approximately 4 to 14%. experts predict that by 2000 this figure could rise to 36%. belarusians are also switching to electric cars. the number of eco-machines in our country will increase to 100,000 in 2 years. victor mikhailovich, if we evaluate what exactly

energy is, does he state whether electricity consumption is growing in the country? yes, of course, there is a positive dynamics in the growth of electricity consumption, thanks to incentives adopted at the level of the head of state and government. volume of consumption of electrical energy over 9 months increased by 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours and amounted to 29.8 billion, while there is an increase in both the real sector of the economy, this is primarily industry, by the population, and the use of electrical energy by electric boilers, on our large stations for heat supply and hot water supply, large cities, populated areas. and we see this trend will continue in general, we expect to reach 41 billion kilowatt-hours of consumption, and this is already an increase of 2.4 billion, and in general if we talk about an increase

for the years ahead, as we now believe, for example, in the twenty-fourth year, how much we can add, but there are corresponding forecasts, for the twenty-fifth year, taking into account the implementation of the activities that are planned, it will allow us to achieve, well, an estimated amount of order. by 2030 by 47 billion kilowatt-hours and now everything is being done to ensure that these measures , what was planned, will have to be implemented, and the development of energy-intensive industries, here is the development of electric transport, and i can say that the number of electric transport we have annually is growing, this is also facilitated by the development of electrical charging infrastructure, the number of electric charging stations is increasing every year, well, in general, i will say that in the country as a whole, not only on the balance sheet of belarus, in the whole country we have already put into operation more than 900 electric stations. locations. another direction can be noted here, this is the possibility

of using electric energy by electric buses, that is, the transfer of public transport to the use of electric energy and at the government level two have been adopted - projects, two pilot projects in the two cities of zhodina and shklov of all public transport from internal combustion engines to electric buses. and this work should be completed next year, and people in these settlements will already feel it. that’s precisely the advantage and comfort of traveling on electric buses, well, of course, we’ll see how , say, this transport goes there, but in general, for electric transport to come from such a small city to a big city, it will take a lot of time, for example, minsk, an electric city, well, i’ll say, such projects are being considered, and there is also a corresponding , already formed proposal on how this can be implemented, now we are working on this and i think that in

the near future there will also be such projects... of citizens who express a desire for heating purposes the use of electrical energy for these purposes is growing more and more, and i can also name certain incentive measures that have been taken and that they really feel it on their wallet, yes, is it beneficial? energy, it's really beneficial, it's parity, using other types of energy resources for heating purposes, the second is the possibility of reimbursement from local budgets in accordance with decree number 127, part of the citizens’ funds used for the purchase of electric heating equipment or carrying out work to modernize their internal building. here

is the reimbursement of part of the expenses from 20 to 40% depending on the category; since the adoption of the decree, 11.5 million rubles have already been allocated for these purposes, that is, to reimburse part of the citizens’ funds for transfer their homes, residential buildings, for the use of electrical energy for heating purposes, the third is the opportunity, in accordance with presidential decree no. 381, to modernize non-depreciated electrical networks, but here using citizens’ funds - participation should be on the part of individuals precisely thirty%. this is also a certain incentive that will satisfy citizens in terms of the use of electrical energy for heating purposes, but also the volumes corresponding to the volumes of consumption, more than 400 million kilowatt-hours have already been consumed for these purposes in 9 months the population increased by 1.3 times compared to the corresponding period last year, that is, there is also a positive trend here.

moreover, last year the pace was also not small - 1.7 times , and accordingly the number of subscribers also using electric energy is growing, here we can highlight three main areas in which we are working together with government bodies, this is the construction of the first new housing, already in the twenty-twenty -second year and 9 months of this city, electrified houses where 896,000 km, the transfer of multi-apartment... this is the second direction , the transfer of multi-apartment housing to the use of electrical energy for heating purposes instead of food heating , conditions have already been created for the transfer of such seventeen multi-apartment residential buildings, and the transfer of single-apartment buildings of existing housing to the use of electrical energy for heating purposes, in total, from the moment the incentive tariff levels were established from january 1 of the nineteenth year to the present

period of the year and 9 months of the twenty-third in total, 90 7,000 such subscribers contacted over the year, more than 97,000 subscribers and 85,800 subscribers are already satisfied, that is, 88%. taking into account the incentive measures taken and systematic approaches to modernize the electrical infrastructure, every year we have a growing percentage of satisfaction of such requests; for the 9th month of 2023, the percentage of satisfaction of citizens' requests amounted to 94.5%. you said that new housing, electric houses are appearing, in general this will be the number next year. the volume of such apartments will increase, the volume of houses in the republic, well, this work will continue, for the current five-year period 21-25, it was precisely predicted to build and put into operation 2 million km of such housing, therefore, in 24 and 25, work on the construction of electric grid houses, where electrical
