Will a new zivojno mine prevent North Macedonia from achieving a timely coal phase-out?
However, reality is not following the NECP. According to the state owned electricity company ESM’s 5-year investment plan 2018-2022, the commissioning of a new Zivojno mine could extend the coal supply to TPP Bitola for another ~10.6 years. This would obviously prevent North Macedonia from achieving a timely coal phase-out.
How many power plants are there in North Macedonia in 2022?
The electric power generation capacity in North Macedonia in 2022 mainly consisted of two coal thermal power plants with a total of 824 MW installed capacity, nine large hydropower plants with 571 MW installed capacity, 123 small hydropower plants with 148 MW installed capacity and three gas CHP plants with 287 MW installed capacity.
What type of electricity does North Macedonia use?
North Macedonia relies predominantly on fossil fuels (low-grade lignite and gas) and hydropower, and is dependent on electricity imports. The total generation of electricity in 2022 was 5,634 GWh, and another 1,471 GWh was imported to satisfy the total domestic electricity demand.
Are there open cast lignite mines in Macedonia?
There are two operational open cast lignite mines – Suvudol and Brod-Gneotino. According to North Macedonia’s 2023 Just Transition Roadmap, Suvodol has enough coal for two years and Brod-Gneotino for ten years the way they currently operate. However, reality is not following the NECP.
Does Macedonia have a wind farm?
North Macedonia has a 36.8 MW wind farm at Bogdanci and has received EU and KfW financing to expand it. It was the first country in the Western Balkan region to put into operation a sizeable wind facility. Its second wind farm, the 36-MW Bogoslovec, only started operating in mid-2023.
