North Macedonia Accelerates Green Transition with Renewable Energy Investments

North Macedonia is making significant strides in its energy sector transformation, driven by substantial investments in renewable energy and climate resilience initiatives. Cities such as Skopje, Bitola, and Tetovo are leading this charge with programs focused on enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.

In 2022, Skopje allocated approximately 24 million denars (around 400,000 euros) to subsidize the adoption of inverter-climate systems, aiming to improve air quality and reduce household energy consumption. Bitola has a strong track record, having provided 2.7 million euros in subsidies for 3,206 inverter-climate systems between 2019 and 2025. Tetovo supported 1,590 households with 1.5 million euros for similar energy-efficient systems in 2020-2021. Nationally, the government provided 10 million euros in subsidies to 10,000 households for inverter-climate system installations in 2019. The Ministry of Economy plans to issue over 7,000 vouchers in 2024 to further encourage the adoption of these technologies, contributing to energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
