WBIF supports the efforts of North Macedonia to establish new renewable energy generation. One such example is the construction of the first wind park in the country, Bogdanci, located in the southeast, close to the border with Greece.
Assisting in the project development from the initial phases, this WBIF TA grant has funded a feasibility study for the pilot project to demonstrate the technology, prove the viability of wind energy, and encourage private investment in other renewable energy projects. As part of the feasibility study, a thorough environmental impact analysis and a social impact study were prepared.
The project will add generating capacity thus contributing to the goal of improving the security of the energy supply, reducing the negative environmental impacts of energy use, and helping the climate change mitigation.
