Project in development to integrate Belarusian nuclear station into national power grid
“The work involves several components, including the commissioning of electric boilers at existing cogeneration plants, the construction of gas turbines for peak hours,” he specified. Time-differentiated electricity rates are in development, including for households, for the sake of encouraging electricity consumption in night time and reducing electricity consumption in peak hours. Some technologies that use gas-powered heating are being converted to electrical heaters. Homes that use electricity for heating and hot water supply are being built. “It will rule out the construction of boiler houses for new homes as well as centralized and individual heating stations,” explained Mikhail Milashenko.
