This landlocked country just started operating a nuclear power plant for the first time earlier this week.
The facility is expected to create 2.2 Gigawatts of electricity which is less than 1% of the country’s total electricity production. They have a net export of about 1 Terawatt.
Belarus was once part of Lithuania.
