Solar and storage opportunities in the North Macedonia power
State-led solar and wind projects, along with investments in grid infrastructure and storage, are now advancing at pace. More recently, the Macedonian Solar Energy Association
tility-scale and rooftop PV.WIND POWERWind energy in North Macedonia is at an ea lier stage but is poised for expansion. The country's first wind farm, the 36.8 MW Bogdanci Park (1 turbines), was built by ESM in 201415. For nearly a decade, Bogdanci remained the sole wind project—wind cap
Although North Macedonia's renewable energy potential is huge (especially solar), the country is still dependent on importing electricity –imported electricity constitutes around 30% of the overall gross consumption.
This is a huge number for North Macedonia as the biggest solar plant at the moment is only 17MW, with the second biggest being 10MW. According to the RKE 2022 Annual Report, 267 new renewable energy power plants are currently in the works (with solar plants having the biggest part - 254 plants).
Under the Ministry's leadership, North Macedonia is taking a structured and inclusive approach to reducing coal dependency, including: Developed a Just Transition Roadmap that outlines a timeline for gradual coal phase-out aligned with energy security and labor market considerations.
