in the world of creation, we can create excellent automotive equipment and achieve the results that we have achieved today. for me, my profession is everything, i spend most of my time here, my whole life was connected with the minsk automobile plant, even as a child, i lived in the factory area, so the people with whom i interacted as a child worked for minsk automobile plant, so i further linked my fate with the minsk automobile plant, but while studying at the polytechnic university... i am more i liked creating the vehicles that our car plant produces, so i decided to become a designer. 22 years ago i came to the minsk automobile plant. at the age of 22 , the minsk automobile plant mastered the production of buses and trolleybuses, added the production of medium-sized vehicles, a small number of heavy-duty vehicles, the plant is growing, does not stand still, all this requires qualified personnel. last year we opened a training center jointly with the belarusian national technical university, the guys have been here... since the third

courses undergo practical training, in addition to this they study a number of disciplines, these include car design, design features, chassis systems, testing, electronics, every year the number of students coming to their diploma projects for training increases, they can see how new ones are produced in the experimental workshop components, how live tests take place, in the tel.-2 years that they spend at the minsk automobile plant, they come out... maximally prepared for further work at our enterprise, the products of the minsk automobile plant are maximally integrated into the life of our society and state, therefore, by producing this equipment, we contribute to the development of our society. for me, the minsk automobile plant is everything, this is my history, my destiny. one of my children is currently also studying at the belarusian national polytechnic university, at the department of automobiles, and i also plan to connect my life with the minsk automobile plant.

high requirements for clean energy. questions about our security of our station, this is a question number one. peaceful atom, this is our present. the demand for electrical energy is growing. and the future, a high degree of readiness for the acceptance of the second power unit. we are building more electric houses. 2 million km of such housing. and we transfer to an electric car. there are incentive measures that have been taken at the level of the head of state. in the morning of the minister. in the energy sector reported this to the president, and in the evening he will tell you, the president is talking right now, viktor mikhailovich, hello, well, probably, i don’t know , probably not only journalists, but everyone belarusians, of course, are following the news, but what about the belarusian nuclear power plant, more precisely with the second power unit, how is it progressing...

the completion of construction and when it will be put into operation, you of course said today and during the president’s report, how are things going, so for today, let’s say the latest, what information? good afternoon, the second power unit, it is in operation, and the belarusian nuclear power plant, one might say, is already at the final stage of putting the station itself and the second power unit into operation, the second power unit on october 14, it has already undergone... final tests within the framework of the pilot-industrial operation stage, this is a comprehensive test and for 15 days the unit operated at rated power, thereby confirming the design characteristics, its production indicators, as of this date it the production program was completed, to put the second power unit into operation, a government commission was created, in accordance with which its work has already been organized; at the moment

, an operating license was received on october 24 of the second power unit, the belarusian nuclear power plant received from the state atomic inspectorate of the ministry of emergency situations, a corresponding board was held, a decision was made, and work was organized to obtain the necessary positive conclusions from the supervisory authorities, so it is planned in the near future ... all the work will be completed, and then the transfer of all documents to the ee commission for signing acceptance certificate. the first power unit - we have already completed two scheduled stages, since october 6 it has been taken out - for the next one, this is the second scheduled maintenance, as part of which will be ensured and the reloading of part of the fuel is the replacement of spent 42 fuel assemblies out of 160. this is about

25%. well, i wanted to say that from the moment the first power unit was connected to the network, and this was, let me remind you, november 2020, the stations have already been generated, all the electrical energy has been supplied to the network, and this has made it possible to replace the calculation for 5.5 million meters of natural gas and reduce emissions greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, this is more than 9 million tons. here we are now in the central control room, as i understand it, here we are here we see how electricity from belas is distributed throughout the country, it turns out in... real time, yes, that’s right, we are located exactly in the republican dispatch center of the unified energy system, the work of our large stations, high-pressure stations, between them is reflected here there are connections, these are intersystem connections, power lines of 750 kv, 330, 220 and yes,

on this account we can observe the operation of the belarusian nuclear power plant, see with what load it is currently operating, as i said, it... everything is from the rated power the second power unit is operating, and the connections that exist with the energy system, let me remind you, these are seven power lines , with a voltage of 330 kv, they all come out of the nuclear plant and communication is provided with all regions of our country, and here you can even see the loads for each power lines, what loads these networks currently carry and how much electrical energy they transmit. and which area is probably consuming more at the moment, right? traditionally, those regions or those consume the most regions where large-scale industrial production is located, this is in particular the gomel region, where the bmz is located, these are the largest consumers in our country, the mozersky

oil refinery is also there, the minsk region, there are also quite a lot of industrial enterprises, energy-intensive industries , therefore , of course, the most important task of the energy system is to ensure that the country's needs for electrical energy are met in real time. therefore, the task of dispatchers, energy facilities, the entire integrated system, to ensure the production, transmission and distribution of the volume of electrical energy that is now in demand and they are successfully coping with this task, ensuring a reliable and generally stable supply of energy resources to consumers. i... still ask, will we put the second power unit into operation in november? everything has its time, we won’t rush, but there is a high degree of readiness for the acceptance of the second power unit and the nuclear power plant as a whole into operation. well, it always causes a resonance in the press when

a unit, a power unit is closed, for example, for some repair work, yes, we say that this is planned work, but it is always discussed, even by non-specialists, there are always a lot of arguments. absolutely not people from this sphere, which expresses, after all, for the second power unit and further for the first , some kind of plan has already been formed and until the end of this year, maybe next year, will this work also continue? of course, this is routine work, as i said, as part of scheduled preventive maintenance, there is an overload parts of already spent fuel with loading of fresh nuclear fuel, this is a constant cycle, the unit is in operation for approximately 11 months and after that it is transferred to scheduled maintenance, in addition to fuel refueling, diagnostics of technological systems must be carried out, metal and equipment of technological systems must be inspected and there must be confirmation that the equipment is operating

normally, where necessary, carry out appropriate work to eliminate the inconsistencies and comments identified there, but this is once again, this is planned work and this will be done again... confirm the reliability and safety of the operation of the station itself and power units, the same work is carried out on any energy equipment, be it boiler houses, thermal power plants, substations, routine maintenance is carried out everywhere, just probably, a large object always attracts a lot of attention from everyone whether it works, doesn’t work, is put out for scheduled repairs or not, so we try to tell people in advance, to indicate that this is a systematic planned work and regulations must be implemented strictly and clearly, because the future reliability and safety of the facility depends on this. you have already touched upon the topic of safety and today during the president’s report it was also said that this is issue number one, a priority topic,

but in general it is it has always been a priority for us, when we were just thinking about building a power plant, when we were building the first power unit there, and now, in general, for the first, for the second, all the stages, let’s say, have been completed and some procedures have been completed to obtain the necessary documents, licenses or anything else left, are there any open questions? of course, we have always been open and accessible in this, and as a new country, we have carried out all the recommendations and all the proposed missions of magathe, that is, our country has carried out all the missions that were recommended as part of the construction of the belarusian nuclear power plant, they once again confirmed the safety, reliability, all the recommendations that were proposed within the framework of these missions were not implemented, we conducted - also voluntarily, stress tests, were also additional measures have been implemented aimed at safety or... additional measures to ensure the reliability of the operation of the reactor installation, these are post-focism measures called,

we also note that any conclusions, any licenses that are issued, they again must or first of all confirm that it is safe, here are the licenses issued by the state atomic supervision authority for the operation of the first power unit, the second power unit, they clearly confirm that all technological systems, the operation of the power unit, the reactor installations, they correspond to the standard, design characteristics , and do not pose any dangers in terms of nuclear radiation safety, that is, all issues regarding ensuring nuclear reduction safety, they have been resolved, with regard to the same positive conclusions of supervisory authorities, if any positive conclusions, this once again confirms that everyone in their part clearly... confirms the safe, reliable operation of the equipment systems of the plants as a whole.

well, it already sounded like we were discussing either building another beloes, or another power unit, another one operating here in ostrovets. in general, is this topic still being discussed, or have we already come to some kind of, 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, technical, organizational, economic, and we are now working on this. according to calculations by rosatom and our ministry of energy, by the end of the year about 25% of the country’s electricity will be generated to belaes. 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 belas , the cooperation has been said more than once that it is long-term and

that it does not end with the building of the second power unit, already 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 for a fee. of course, taking into account the commissioning of facilities belarusian nuclear power plant, our relationship will only expand, and if we take the nuclear plant itself, then these are issues of technical support and scientific support. carrying out the operation of the belarusian nuclear power plant, in this regard, we are constructively working together, developing coordinated approaches aimed at further mutually beneficial cooperation in the issues and operation of plants, in particular, on september 1, an agreement was signed on the possibility of jointly forming and using an insurance reserve and repair exchange fund rosenergoatamy concern of the belarusian... nuclear power plant and this agreement was signed between these economic entities , this will once again confirm

the possibility of such mutually beneficial cooperation in the efficiency of resolving various issues related to the operation of the facility, these include issues of extending the increase in individual equipment, there are about 48 positions of the main equipment, warranty period, further operation of the first second power unit, this is also an element of further mutually beneficial cooperation reliability. operation of the stations, all these issues, they will be enshrined in a separate protocol, and the corresponding draft protocol, it has already been prepared to amend the 2011 intergovernmental agreement on the construction of the belarusian npp, these are the points, they will already be reflected there, but also the issues of handling radioactive waste, this is also the direction, the direction in which we will cooperate and interact with them, it is very important for us. and know their experience, their technologies , study the possibility of their application in the republic of belarus.

today in the world 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 includes diversification of energy supplies and types of energy resources, reducing dependence on carbohydrate fuels. of course, there are only 32 countries where there are nuclear power units where electrical energy is produced. with the use of peaceful atoms and the republic of belarus is among these countries, i can say that the demand for development and construction, nuclear... power plants, nuclear units is growing, and - magathet also confirmed this in the form of - the number of statements of countries that were submitted, well , in the previous year at the general conference of magathet, a record number of countries that submitted statements of intent construction of their own nuclear power plants, 50 countries, including 27

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 national energy programs, in which will include its own nuclear power plant 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 equal conditions for business entities. this will stabilize the cost energy resources, and will 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, with

russia, we are actively cooperating within the framework of signed union programs, because a lot has already been done in the energy sector of the common market that we are creating? yes, with our russian colleagues we continue to work on the formation of united markets for gas and electricity, according to electric energy, a draft interstate agreement has been prepared, it has been agreed upon with our russian colleagues and has been approved by government authorities, in accordance with the established procedure, it has already been submitted to the 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, of the electric energy market, we must also complete this work in terms of preparing relevant projects, consensus projects, and documents. for gas for 2023-25, 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 changes to inter-legal agreements, according to the corresponding protocol with pjsc gazprom. in the future, our work will be organized to prepare principles for the functioning of the unified gas market and further operating 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 to win the creation of these common markets and, as it were, identical operating conditions in the two countries, what happens at a price? we say that within the framework of the union state 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 competitiveness of the union state as a whole, and, accordingly, this is

the possibility of the joint entering a third country, increasing sales volumes of products that are in demand not only in republic of belarus, but outside the republic of belarus and the union state, well, you always communicate with the russians on the front line, probably in st. petersburg at the forum, at this international forum, and also on union programs, in general, how do you assess this negotiation process always manages to come to an agreement, or this is a field where there are many different opinions and disputes, or everything goes smoothly, well, in any case, we are having negotiations, there are difficult issues, but we are doing it step by step. and this will allow in the future, already at the stage of negotiations and the formation and development of agreed approaches, we will then ensure the effective functioning of the work on these documents. according to the union programs, are we moving on time or

is there still a lag? we are doing what we planned. experts predict that by 2030 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. viktor mikhailovich, and if you evaluate, he clearly states whether the energy is growing in country's electricity consumption? yes, of course, there is room. thanks to the incentive and organizational measures taken at the level of the head of state and government , the volume of electrical energy consumption over 9 months increased by 1.8 and amounted to 29.8 billion, while there is growth in both the real sector of the economy, this is primarily industry by the population, and

the use of electrical energy by electric boilers at our large stations for heat supply and hot water supply, large cities and towns of the country, and there will be such a trend, we see it will continue - in general, we expect to reach 41 billion kilowatt-hours of consumption, and this is already an increase of 2.4 billion. in general, if we talk about an increase for the years ahead, as we believe, for example, in the twenty-fourth year , how much can we add? well, there are corresponding forecasts, now the twenty-fifth year, taking into account the implementation of the activities that are planned, will allow us to reach, well, approximately 44 billion kilowatt-hours, by 2030 to 47 billion kilowatt-hours. and now everything is done in order for these events, what was planned, to be implemented , here is the development of energy-intensive industries,

here is the development of electric transport, and i can say that the number of electric transport in our country is growing every year, this is also facilitated by the development of electrical and charging infrastructure , the number of electric charging stations in our country increases every year, well, in general, i will say that in the whole country - not only... belarus has oil on its balance sheet, in the whole country we have already put into operation more than 900 electric charging stations and 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 projects have been adopted, two pilot projects in the two cities of zhodino and szlow of all public transport from internal combustion engines to electric buses . and this work should be completed next year, people in these settlements will already feel exactly advantage and comfort of traveling on

electric buses. well, of course, we’ll see how , say, this transport goes there. in general, it takes a lot of time for electric transport to come from such a small city to a big city, for example, minsk is an electric city. well, i will say that such projects are being considered, and there is also a corresponding, already formed proposal. how this can be implemented, we are now working on this and i think that in the near future such projects will not keep you waiting, they will also be implemented in our country, in republic of belarus, but electric energy is now being used especially actively, namely by the population for heating purposes, an increasing number of citizens who express a desire to use electric energy for these purposes are growing and i can also name certain incentives that have been adopted and what it really is that they they feel it on their wallet, yes, that it is profitable, well, firstly, yes, that it is, uh, there is an incentive measure that was taken at the level of the head of state, this is the first thing,

stimulating tariffs for electrical energy, this is really profitable, it is on par with the use of other types of energy resources for heating purposes, the second is the possibility of reimbursement from local budget funds, in accordance with decree number 127, of part of the citizens’ funds used for the purchase of... electric heating equipment or carrying out work to modernize your internal electrical wiring, here is a reimbursement of part of the costs from 20 to 40%, depending on the category, already for these purposes with from the moment the decree was adopted, 1.5 million rubles were allocated, that is, to reimburse part of the citizens’ funds for the transfer of their houses and residential buildings to the use of electrical energy for heating purposes, the third is the opportunity in accordance with presidential decree no. 300... 81 modernization and not depreciated electrical networks, but here using citizens’ funds and participation should be

exactly 30% on the part of individuals. this is also a certain incentive that will make it possible to satisfy citizens in terms of the use of electrical energy for heating purposes, but also volumes, corresponding volumes of consumption, more than 400 million kilowatt-hours have already been consumed for these purposes in 9 months. population, an increase of 1.3 times compared to the corresponding period of last year, that is, there is also a positive trend here, especially since last year the rate was also not small - 1.7 developed, and accordingly, the number of subscribers using electrical energy is also growing, here we can highlight three main areas in which we work together with government bodies, these are construction, the first of new housing, already in twenty, a year and 9 months, houses where 896,000 km have already been built.

transfer of multi-apartment housing is the second direction; transfer of multi-apartment housing to the use of electric energy for heating instead of stove heating; conditions have already been created for the transfer of such seventeen multi-apartment residential buildings, as well as the transfer of single-apartment buildings of existing housing to the use of electric energy for heating purposes, since the establishment of incentive levels tariffs from january 1 nineteenth year to uh today's period 19,202 and 9 months of the twenty-third year , a total of 97,000 such subscribers applied, 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 modernizing the electrical infrastructure, every year our percentage of satisfaction of such requests is growing and for 9 months of 2023 the percentage of satisfaction

of citizens’ requests was 94. you said that new housing, electric houses are appearing, in general, next year this number, 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 just predicted to build and put into operation 2 million km of such housing, therefore in 24 in 25, work for the construction of grid-connected houses, where electrical energy will initially be used for... heating purposes will continue. here we are near the ministry; you also have a charger for an electric car here. in general, the infrastructure is it optimal for today, you named how many charging stations, more than 900 charging stations, locations, is it optimal or should it be increased, taking into account the fact that, for example, there will be more owners of the same electric cars in the near future? there is a corresponding program at the government level, it has been adopted, where new locations have already been identified

where new charging stations should be built, and work in this direction also continues, but besides this, there are other directions for installing electric charging stations , for example, interaction is carried out with garage cooperatives, uh, with city parking lots, where there is also a desire to install new locations and stations, but these will already be owned by these legal entities, and here , too, the work is organized, if we say that electricity consumption will grow? yes, and we looked at how electricity is now distributed throughout the country, whether our energy system is completely ready to satisfy this, let’s say, increased demand for electrical energy, which will continue to increase, well, of course, will we continue to modernize the network? this is a challenge for a certain energy system, and energy system is now systematically organizing work to increase the volume of reconstruction and construction of new electrical networks of various voltage classes, but first of all the emphasis will be

on distribution networks, 4- 10 kw , the most important thing is to cover as much as possible those unsatisfied applications and those settlements where it is necessary to modernize electrical networks, and the most important thing, because the end result is to ensure the creation more comfortable living conditions for citizens of rural areas, and if in 2022 approximately 1000 km of networks were modernized, reconstructed and built, then in 2020 - in the third year we should reach 2,300 km, by the target for the twenty-fourth year we should increase it even more, well, so ambitious the task is to reach 3,000 km of modernization, reconstruction and construction of new networks, that is , a lot of work is still ahead, are you looking at an electric car? well, there is such a desire, but i think that in the near future we can then talk about this topic too.

a show where they fight not with the help of physical force , as is well known, before the competition you need to warm up thoroughly and warm up all the muscles, by the way, the same applies to the head, just as one french figure noted, you can give in to force, but only submit resignedly mind. a show where the main weapon is intelligence. the main thing now is to concentrate, gather all your thoughts together and be attentive. all of these medals were awarded for victory at the summer olympics, except one. what medal are we talking about? sochi, sochi, absolutely right, this is correct answer. however, activity will also play a role. who.
