Viktor Karankevich said: “This year it is necessary to increase the volume of power grid reconstruction by 1.4 times in comparison with 2022. The volume of power grid modernization will have to double by 2025.” It will allow satisfying the nation's growing demand for electricity used for heating and hot water supply.
