Abstract

Current energy status and GIP in North Macedonia – Key Challenges:
Low level of technology readiness and competitiveness, limited innovation and research capacity
Electricity generation is highly dependent on coal with domestic coal reserves declining (more than 50% of electricity generation mix is based on coal fired thermal power production by TPP Bitola and Oslomej - Kicevo)
High level of air pollution (high GHG emissions)
Low efficiency in energy production and use.
High-energy intensity (three times higher than EU average)
High energy import dependency (Imports account for over half of energy consumption)
Inappropriate waste management system and climate/environmental protection.
GIP priorities in North Macedonia:
Decarbonization of the economy by increasing the public investment in green transition and renewable energy production (35-45% of energy consumption by 2040 to be based on renewable energy resources)
Improvements of energy efficiency, including in residential and public buildings.
Stimulate the implementation of Circular economy concept and efficient waste management system.
Smart mining and sustainable use of materials
Improving the skills for strategic areas with regards to green industry
Supporting innovations and competitiveness of Macedonian industry – structural changes.
