It will target the complete phase-out of coal-fired power, the deployment of 1.7 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, grid and storage investments for energy security and just transition measures to support communities affected by this transition.
The EU will continue to be a strong partner in providing assistance for the implementation of renewable energy projects with the goals of promoting economic growth, environmental protection and ultimately bringing the Republic of North Macedonia closer to the European Union."
North Macedonia has initiated reporting on national systems for policies and measures and projections, but has yet to submit a report. North Macedonia is currently working on a draft Law on Climate Action that will contain provisions, among others, for

Increasing the share of the energy from renewable energy sources (RES) in the total energy consumption is one of the major strategic objectives of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia.
How is electricity used in North Macedonia? Sources of electricity generation Electricity can be generated in two main ways: by harnessing the heat from burning fuels or nuclear reactions in the form of steam (thermal power) or by capturing the energy of natural forces such as the sun, wind or moving water.
The results of the study are unambiguous: North Macedonia has an enormous untapped potential for renewable energy development. Even when completely excluding all important bird and plant areas, the potential comes to
To reduce CO 2 emissions and exposure to local air pollution, we want to transition our energy systems away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources. Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies. This
Some of the energy found in primary sources is lost when converting them to useable final products, especially electricity. As a result, the breakdown of final consumption can look very different from that of the primary energy supply (TES). Both are needed to
To reduce CO 2 emissions and exposure to local air pollution, we want to transition our energy systems away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources. Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies. This interactive chart
Like others in the region, North Macedonia must balance its need to rapidly accelerate the transition to renewables to secure its energy future with the need to ensure that future is one where both the country’s nature and people thrive.
Nevertheless, for the time being, there is no visible resistance and wind potential remains. Just as with any future exploitation of renewable energy, wind power projects can be a good opportunity for citizen participation and creation of energy communities in North Macedonia.

In addition to the large-scale solar power project for replacing the old thermal power plant ”Oslomej” and the newly announced provision of projected 400MW of residential solar energy from rooftop PVs, in 2019 North Macedonia opened a tender with subsidies for investments in photovoltaics, for an investment in a minimum installed capacity of 1MW62.
North Macedonia today launched a just energy transition investment platform to guide its far-reaching plans for a low-carbon and just transition of the electricity sector.
Indeed, the development potential of North Macedonia is great, as the Minister stated. In the 2013 report33, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) stated that North Macedonia is one of the countries with a huge potential for renewable energy exploitation that remains almost completely unutilized.
