Analysis# Belarus Renewable Energy Consumption
Belarus sourced 8.2% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2021, slightly below its all-time peak of 8.4% reached in 2020. The country has transformed dramatically since 1990, when renewables accounted for just 0.9% of energy consumption—representing an 811% increase over three decades. This remarkable growth reflects sustained investment in cleaner energy infrastructure across the post-Soviet period.
The past decade reveals volatility within an upward trend. Renewable consumption dipped to 6.7% in both 2014 and 2016 before climbing steadily from 2017 onward, peaking in 2020. The slight 2021 decline suggests stabilization rather than reversal. With renewables now comprising more than 8% of Belarus's energy mix and momentum favoring continued expansion, the country appears positioned to push beyond its current plateau in coming years.
