North Macedonia must ditch its unrealistic gas plans and cut to a clean energy future
Briefing | 15 February 2024
North Macedonia has gradually increased its gas use in recent years, and has ever-expanding, but unrealistic, plans to increase it further. In contrast, the EU has spent the last two years trying to quickly cut its gas consumption, as the high risks of dependence on imported gas have been exposed.
Although the North Macedonia government recognises the need to update the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), it has so far not started the process, nor shown any signs of reviewing its gas infrastructure plans.
This briefing explains why the international community must not be complicit in creating stranded assets or increased gas lock-in in North Macedonia.
