In a strategic move to enhance energy security and regional integration, North Macedonia is progressing with significant cross-border gas infrastructure projects. Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski highlighted these developments at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, emphasizing that energy connectivity is a foundational element of the country’s long-term development strategy.
The government is aligning its energy policy with advancing technological goals, including initiatives related to artificial intelligence. Ongoing upgrades to the national electricity transmission network are complemented by targeted investments in natural gas infrastructure, reflecting a comprehensive approach to modernizing the energy sector.
Currently, construction is underway for a natural gas pipeline connecting North Macedonia with Greece. Preparatory works are also commencing on an additional interconnector that will link North Macedonia with Serbia. These infrastructure projects are designed to bolster supply security and promote deeper regional energy integration.
Prime Minister Mickoski noted that these new gas connections are vital not only for facilitating North Macedonia’s energy transition but also hold significant implications for the broader southeastern European region. They are expected to contribute to enhanced diversification, resilience, and stronger cooperation among neighboring countries.
