About Us
Institute for Economic and Energy Policies and Research
The Institute for Economic and Energy Policies and Research (IEEPR) plays a crucial role in advocating for renewable energy adoption and environmental solutions in the Republic of North Macedonia. Established in 2020, the institute has been actively engaged in collaborative projects with non-governmental organizations and foreign companies to address the country’s energy challenges.
One of the primary focuses of IEEPR is promoting the utilization of solar energy resources in North Macedonia for electricity production. Solar radiation holds immense potential in the region, and harnessing this renewable source can significantly contribute to reducing the country’s energy dependence on fossil fuels.
Through its research, advocacy, and project initiatives, IEEPR provides economic and financial justifications for transitioning towards renewable energy sources. By demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of renewable energy investments, the institute helps policymakers and stakeholders make informed decisions that support a faster and more equitable energy transition.
Overall, IEEPR’s efforts contribute to advancing sustainable development goals, mitigating climate change impacts, and fostering a more resilient and prosperous energy future for the Republic of North Macedonia.
Our Vision
At the Institute for Economic and Energy Policies and Research (IEEPR), we envision a future where the Republic of North Macedonia leads the way in sustainable energy practices, environmental stewardship, and economic prosperity.
We see a nation powered by clean, renewable energy sources, with solar energy playing a central role in driving progress towards a carbon-neutral future. Our vision encompasses vibrant communities, thriving industries, and a resilient economy built on the foundation of sustainable development principles.
We aspire to be at the forefront of this transformative journey, guiding policymakers, industries, and communities towards innovative solutions that balance environmental conservation with economic growth. Through our collaborative efforts with non-governmental organizations, foreign partners, and local stakeholders, we aim to catalyze meaningful change that benefits both present and future generations.
In pursuit of our vision, we are committed to:
- Advocating for policies that promote the widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies, with a focus on maximizing the potential of solar radiation in North Macedonia.
