Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU) announces that in Macedonia, 21 percent of energy will be produced from renewable resources by 2020. At the moment, renewable energy accounts for 13.8 percent.

According to economy minister Fatmir Besimi, the focus and goal of the study on renewable resources, which was conducted by MANU, is to develop renewable energy production, which is important for sustainable development as well as physical and social environment.

"In these terms, Macedonia will have a good document based on which it will develop energy in the future, and we will try hard to coordinate it with the EU standards," Besimi added. Moreover, the study includes all facilities that produce energy in Macedonia, as well as potential locations for the construction of new ones.
