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.
