Description

The research has shown that despite the separation of the key heat market functions, Toplifikacija Group remains to dominate the market. Having lackof competition from other more influential heat market actors or from the gasification sector, Toplifikacija has no incentive to reduce the heat prices. Although DH is known as the most efficient option for heating, the Macedonian DH should go through more in- depth restructuring for the purpose of offering more efficient services. The presented heat legislation does not give incentive for the citizens to introduce energy efficient measures in their households and thus to use the heat energy more efficiently. The energy strategies although support improving the DH market and building CHP plants, they lack a more heat market focused analysis. However, the positive experience of the new highly efficient energy capacity TE-TO after many years of non-investment's hould be a clear signal for investing in further CHP projects. In addition, the gasification process has to be developed more intensively. One crucial aspect is however the long term planning and constructing of the relevant gas and heat infrastructure and especially CHP.
