North Macedonia’s Energy Strategy Unrealistic in Plans for Hydropower

9 December 2019, Montel Energitika.net

Two out of three scenarios in North Macedonia’s draft Energy Strategy foresee a coal exit by 2025, which is excellent news in a country traditionally dominated by coal-fired electricity. However, the strategy’s plans for hydropower are unrealistic, states a press release from the CEE Bankwatch Network. North Macedonia’s new draft Energy Strategy is the first in the Western Balkans to put a clear date on phasing out coal — all the more surprising considering that lignite has been responsible for over half the country’s electricity generation in recent years.
