Renewable energy generation accounted for 6% of Belarus’s energy in 2018, rising to 8% in 2020, mostly from biofuels and waste. Renewables share in electricity generation was 2% in 2018 (0.8 TWh). Renewable energy includes wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources.
Most energy in Belarus is cheap fossil gas from Russia, and Belarus is a net energy importer. According to IEA, the energy import vastly exceeded the energy production in 2015, describing Belarus as one of the world's least energy sufficient countries in the world.
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.
There are two large gas pipes running through Belarus, the Yamal–Europe pipeline and Northern Lights. In addition there is the Minsk–Kaliningrad Interconnection that connects to Kaliningrad. In 2021 18.64 billion m3 were consumed with 0.06 billion produced, the rest imported.
It has two refineries and oil pipelines built during the Soviet era including the Mozyr Oil Refinery. Oil consumed in 2021 amounted to 49.13m barrels with 12.52 m barrels produced, the rest imported.
