Title: |
Power sector
investment study |

Objective: |
Provide a basis
for the selection of electric power sector investments in
generation and transmission |
|
Description: |
A number of larger individual
projects have been proposed by the Macedonian authorities as
regards generation and high voltage transmission. To assist in
the formulation of a consistent electricity sector strategy,
an overall strategic investment study is required. Such a
study should
- Identify and project electricity demand
- Identify potential sources of supply and fuel options
- Inventory such sources on the basis of generation costs
- Recommend possible a set of investment options based on
alternative scenarios

Major Sector/Project Issues: |
Investments in the electric
power sector in Macedonia currently face issues of the basic
institutional framework for investments and the corresponding
strategic options. In particular, the issues of partial
privatisation are critical. On the one hand, the government is
reluctant to relinquish control over what are perceived to be
strategic assets, while on the other hand a lack of funds and
guarantees for foreign loans is a serious obstacle to
investment. |
