"Initially, we planned to reach this figure by 2015, but now we are setting an ambitious goal – to reach a share of local fuel types in the utility sector's balance of up to 75% by 2013," said Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Alexander Kosinets. Even today, the Vitebsk region is ahead of other regions and the country as a whole in this indicator. The share of local fuel types in the balance of Belarus's utility sector is 40.8%. "We couldn't do this before because we didn't have the necessary boilers," explained the head of the Vitebsk region. "Now we are ready to completely change the structure of the fuel balance." The scientific and production enterprise "Belkotlomash" was established in 1990 and is one of the leading manufacturers of boiler equipment in the Republic of Belarus. The enterprise specializes in the development and production of hot water and steam boilers that operate on various types of fuel (liquid, solid, and gaseous).
