Macedonia in efforts to facilitate its energy transition

Macedonia in efforts to facilitate its energy transition

Macedonia fully and timely carries out its obligations under the new Energy Law, adopted in May. However, it currently has only 20 MW of installed solar power capacity. In order to improve the situation, the new Energy Law stipulates a change from the “feed-in” tariff to the “premium” tariff model. With such a strategy, three to four million euros could be allocated for the construction of a total of 200 MW of solar power plants. This would potentially revive the construction
