Belarus is a net energy importer. According to IEA, the energy import vastly exceeded the energy productionin 2015, describing Belarus as one of the world's least energy sufficient countries in the world. Belarus is very dependent on Russia.
Primary energy use in Belarus was 327 TWh or 34 TWh per million persons in 2008. Primary energy use per capita in Belarus in 2009 (34 MWh) was slightly more than in Portugal(26 MWh) and about half of the use in Belgium(64 MWh) or Sweden(62 MWh). Electricity consumed in 2021 was 32.67 billion kWh, 3,547 kWh per capita.
Belarus is involved in implementing numerous interstate and international treaties in energy, including participation in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) agreement on the co‑ordination of interstate relations in the power sector, and the treaty on the parallel operations of power systems of the CIS.

[PDF Version]Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
