Macedonia to invest 1.2 billion euros in energy sector (COR)
Skopje, 3 September 2012 (MIA) - Macedonia in the next five years will invest nearly 1.2 billion euros in the energy sector. This is the amount needed to overhaul existing and to build new energy facilities, to establish energy cooperation with countries in the region and to fully implement the measures, activities and tasks included in the programme for the realisation of the Energy Development Strategy.
The funds will be provided through own resources, another possible loan or through the public and private partnership model, Economy Minister Valon Saraqini said Monday.
Experts urge the state in establishing a stable energy sector to focus on the use of domestic resources, first and foremost.
"Energy consumption in the next five years is expected to rise by three percent. There is a necessity of cooperation between all involved parties, relevant institutions and energy companies," Saraqini stated.
The government's strategic goal, he added, is to reduce energy consumption by 9% in comparison to the average consumption in the period between 2002-2006.
Macedonia must focus on providing coal for thermal power plants and on ensuring an additional source for supplying natural gas. The use of renewable energy sources and the opening of mines should also be treated as priority, according to academics who drafted the programme.
Adopted by the government in 2010, the programme for the realisation of the Energy Development Strategy is prepared by the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Government launches investments to modernize rail transport
Skopje, 3 September 2012 (MIA) - The Macedonian Government has decided to launch an investment cycle to modernize the rail network in the country in an attempt to enable better transportation for the citizens, to increase the opportunities for establishing communications and to support the business community involving transportation of goods.
In early September, construction works will kick off to modernize and maintain the railroad section of Corridor 10, Tabanovce-Kumanovo-Karpos, government spokesman Aleksandar Gjorgiev told a press conference on Monday.
In the meantime, activities for modernization and maintenance of railroad section Miravci-Smokvica - also part of Corridor 10 - will begin.
"A consortium of renowned companies from Austria and Germany has been chosen to conduct the construction works for modernization and maintenance of the two sections. Preparations are under way and the activities will be launched in due time. Under the contract, the works for modernizing the two railroad sections that are 26 kilometers long should be completed in 2013," Gjorgiev said.
"These activities envisage 54 kilometers of railroad within Corridor 10 to be modernized and overhaul and for that purpose the Government in cooperation with EBRD has provided funds in amount of about 17 million euros," the spokesman added.
The Government has also decided to start a project aimed at procuring new and modern rolling stock for the railway.
