Abstract
The Government of Macedonia (GOM) plans
to launch a National Program for Energy Efficiency in Public
Buildings (NPEEPB, or "the program") to achieve
energy efficiency (EE) improvements in the buildings sector
and meet the strategic targets outlined in the energy
development strategy of the Republic of Macedonia until
2030, the EE strategy until 2020, and the national EE action
plan in 2010-18. The NPEEPB, coordinated by the Ministry of
Economy (MOE), aims to retrofit existing public buildings
and to lead by example in the implementation of EE measures.
Its targets are public buildings that are used for
administrative and other activities of public interest and
that are fully owned by government institutions or
municipalities. This report focuses on the financing
mechanisms that are considered the best fit with the
institutional environment to achieve the goals of the
NPEEPB, and describes in detail the implementation of the
proposed financing mechanisms: a full-service EE fund, a
dedicated EE credit line, and a municipal EE improvement
program implemented within the government. The national EE
target is a 9 percent savings in final energy consumption by
2018, compared to average energy consumption in 2002-06. The
NPEEPB target for energy savings in public buildings is 13.6
thousand tons of oil equivalents (ktoe) 2 per year, which is
about 56 percent of the national EE target for the
commercial and service sector.
