The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan of North Macedonia elaborates on all five dimensions of the Energy Union i.e. decarbonisation (addressing two segments: greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy sources), energy efficiency, security of energy supply, internal energy market, and research, innovation and competitiveness.
Furthermore, in order to increase the energy storage and system flexibility, among top priorities is the construction of pumped-storage hydro power plant Chebren. The objective is up to 2028 this power plant to be commissioned. The natural gas market in Macedonia is liberalized starting from 2015.
The NECP also envisages the potential for GHG emission reduction from the waste sector, by improving waste management and treatment practices. Concerning the energy efficiency dimension, North Macedonia will strive to maximise the savings in primary and final energy consumption.
National objectives with regard to increasing: the diversification of energy sources and supply from third countries for the purpose of increasing the resilience of regional and national energy systems; The Macedonian objective is to fulfil the RES target in 2030, which will contribute to diversification of the energy sources.
Thus, Macedonia's goal is to increase the number of consumers that can provide balance services. The Energy Strategy envisages introduction of a significant share of electric vehicles in the system, as a way of increasing the RES share in the transport.
In fact, North Macedonia needs to spend 0.24 toe (2.8 MWh) of energy to make 1 EUR, unlike EU28 where only 0.1 toe (1.2MWh) is needed. Proposed measures, especially in the area of energy efficiency, will increase the productivity without increasing energy consumption, bringing North Macedonia closer to the EU 28 average. Figure 11.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
