Artur Lorkovski, Director of the Energy Community, has informed Montenegro’s Minister of Energy, Saša Mujović, about the review of the Ministerial Council’s decision from December 2022, which set the country’s energy and climate goals for 2030. Montenegro is required to achieve a 50% share of renewable energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 2.420 kilotons of CO2.
However, the Ministry of Energy has indicated that the emissions reduction goal is unrealistic without significant changes to the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant or the transport sector. Lorkovski has proposed forming a working group to redefine these targets, addressing concerns that Montenegro faces stricter rules compared to other European nations. Mujović emphasizes the need for achievable goals that will not compromise the national economy, particularly regarding the Pljevlja facility.
