HYDROPOWER POTENTIAL IN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA
European HYDROPOWER Summit Bucharest 27-28 February 2012
Lazar Gechevski, DirectorEnergy Agency of the Republic of Macedonia
General information for the Republic of Macedonia
• 25.713 km2 -area.• Population : 2,1 million.• The supply of energy is based on domestic
fossil fuels and hydro power.• Electricity consumption is about 9.000 GWh.• Import of electricity 3.000 GWh (500
М€/annually).
Final energy consumption for 2011

Need: Macedonia’s needs are around 9 TWh, but the domestic production of electricity from coal and water is only 6 TWh. This means that 30% should be imported.
Target: By introducing energy efficiency measures to decrease the energy needs and through promotion to increase the use of renewable energy sources.- while achieving the targets, the electricity price should be taken into consideration as an important factor
Needs and target
Price of electricity in Europe
• Macedonia has the lowest electricity price
New Energy Law (in force from 18.02.2011) Strategy for energy development Strategy for energy efficiency Strategy for the use of Renewable Energy Sources Action plan for Energy Efficiency National feed-in Tariffs Act for limitation of installed capacity Rulebook for Renewable energy sources Rulebook for obtaining status of preferential producer of electricity
produced from highly efficient plants with combined production Rulebook for issuing Guarantees of origin for production of
electricity produced from RES and highly efficient plants with combined production
Legislation in Republic of Macedonia regarding the hydropower and other RES
The procedure involves various institutions where documents need to be obtained, often confusing process
The Energy Agency has the idea to transform this procedure into one-stop shop system
Most relevant institutions:◦ Energy Agency of Republic of Macedonia◦ Energy Regulatory Commission of Macedonia◦ MEPSO – electricity market operator obligated to
purchase the electricity produced by the preferential producers
The procedure to become preferential producer from RES
Type of plant Preferential tariff in Еuro-cents/kWh
Small hydropower plants
1 - 1 020 000 kW 12.00
1 020 001 – 2 040 000 kWh 8.00
2 040 001 – 4 200 000 kWh 6.00
4 200 001 – 8 400 000 kWh 5.00
Over 8 400 001 kWh 4.50
Feed-in Tariffs for small HPP
Decision on the amount of installed powerIndividual installed capacity Total installed capacity
Up to 10 MW unlimited
Unused available hydro power potential According to the Study for potential small and
micro hydro power plants in Republic of Macedonia, potential for building 406 facilities is identified with total installed capacity of 258 MW and average electricity production per year of 1094 GWh
Our advice: for accurate data, the future investors, before building, should go on the field and examine the current potential of the chosen location
Hydro potential
7 main basin regions in Macedonia
Small and micro hydro power plants potential
planned cascade system of 12 HPPs on the basin of the river Vardar, biggest river in Macedonia
Interesting example: Vardar
There has been 3 tendering procedures so far

Total: 3689 kW
Existing preferential producers of electricity from hydro power plants
+ 5 new small HPPs with total installed power of 2708 kW which are finalizing the procedure for becoming preferential producers
Future planning
-In 2020 total installed power from small HPPs is planned to be 99,7 MW
*Data taken from the ‘Strategy for use of the renewable energy sources in Republic of Macedonia until 2020’
You are welcomed to explore the opportunities for investing in Macedonia
The Agency can provide any information you will need
We are open for cooperation We support new ideas and EE and RES projects
The Agency supports you
