The Liozno district will assess the feasibility of using wind energy

September 5, Polotsk district / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The prospects for using wind energy will be determined in the Liozno district. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by Viktor Mikhailovsky, acting General Director - Chief Engineer of RUP "Vitebskenergo". According to him, a promising location in this district of the Vitebsk region is near the village of Gorshevo. A contract for conducting the research has been concluded with Belhydromet. Currently, the installation of a 70-meter mast is already underway here, which is planned to be commissioned at the end of November. Then, for a year, wind loads will be determined and other measurements will be carried out using it. As a result of the research, the prospects for building a wind turbine at this location and its capacity will be determined. "The possibility of using renewable energy sources, including wind energy, is one of the most important issues for us today, as they hold the future. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct such research," emphasized Viktor Mikhailovsky. As an example of the effectiveness of wind energy use, he cited a functioning installation by a sole proprietor in the Braslav district.-0-
