The programme's primary aim is to reduce GDP energy intensity, and replace fuel and energy imports by local resources. Part of the programme involves renewable energy sources.

Special attention is paid to the development of alternative and renewable energy resources. The programme determines the amount of fuel-energy resources and their distribution among the national state governmental bodies, state-run organisations and regions of Belarus. It also outlines funding resources.
