REALIZATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYIN POWER ENGINEERING OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS(ON THE EXAMPLE OF WIND POWER DEVELOPMENT)

Abstract

The state of the art and perspectives of wind energy use in the process of green economy development and transit to sustainable development are discussed at the background of similar processes in the world power engineering transformation. Geographical analysis of natural, social-economic and institutional processes controlling wind power use in the Republic of Belarus is presented. Negative ecological impact of wind energy use is described. In addition, the main obstacles to the development of wind energy in the Republic of Belarus associated with natural conditions and imperfection of the regulatory framework in the field of renewable energy are identified.
