6 FAQs about [North Macedonia Photovoltaic Cell Project Process]

Who built the first solar plant in North Macedonia?

The 10MW solar plant, built on the site of the spent Oslomej lignite coal mine, was constructed by the public company JSC Elektrani na Severna Makedonija (ESM). This is the company’s first solar plant in North Macedonia, developed with a view to diversifying energy sources and supporting decarbonisation.

How will a new solar plant help Macedonia?

Andi Aranitasi, EBRD Head of North Macedonia, said: “The new solar plant will help the country, which faces severe air pollution from coal, to reduce its reliance on ageing coal-fired infrastructure. It will also generate cheap electricity in times of very high market prices.

What are the decarbonisation plans in North Macedonia?

Decarbonisation plans in North Macedonia are taking a big leap forward. The European Union (EU) is supporting ESM, the state-owned electricity company, to implement a 30 MW photovoltaic (PV) project consisting of 10 MW on a portion of the exhausted coal mine of thermal power plant Oslomej, and 20 MW adjacent to the thermal power plant Bitola.

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.

Is North Macedonia a good place to invest in green energy?

Dimitar Kovačevski, Prime Minister of North Macedonia: "It is really a great pleasure to be here today, where once a big environmental polluter was located and now we are producing green energy. The benefits of this investment are manifold.
