Promising Directions of Development of Electric Power Industry in the Context of Digital Transformation in the Republic of Belarus

The energy sector of Belarus makes a significant contribution to national security, socio-economic development of the country and improving the quality of life of citizens. Not having large reserves of energy resources, the state justifiably defines a future effective strategy consisting of energy saving measures, promotion and stimulation of such measures for households and business entities, implementation of automated complexes and administrative and dispatch control to reduce the costs of production of fuel and energy resources. The artic­ le defines promising and cost-effective products, solutions and measures aimed at developing the energy sector in ge­neral and the electric power industry in particular. The use of Smart Grid technology and production facilities for energy-efficient consumption of electricity: data processing centers and energy storage systems, is substantiated.
