Does North Macedonia rely on fit?
North Macedonia has multiple small private PV plants (less than 1 MWac) with 24MWac of installed capacity benefiting from FiT. The 10MW Oslomej PV plant financed by the Bank (50415) is the first utility size plant of this kind in the country and the first one to not rely on the FiT regime.
How is electricity produced in North Macedonia?
North Macedonia is a net importer and domestic electricity is produced almost entirely from ESM’s power plants. Electricity imports amount to approximately 20-30% of the total domestic electricity consumption and are mostly required to meet peak winter demand.
What is North Macedonia's energy mix?
North Macedonia’s energy mix is dominated by domestic lignite coal-fired units and relies heavily on imports mainly in the form of gas and oil products. Coal is the main source of electricity and accounted for 50% of total generation capacity and 58% of electricity generation in 2019, one of the highest level in Europe.
