2. Country’s framework: key featuresSocio Economy Energy Sector Rural Energy Renewable
EnergyGDP averaged growth: 7.6%Indust. output: 15%SME sector backbone of the economyHousehold sector at riskService/tourism booming
Consump. petroleum, coal and electricity (10% ann. growth)Installed capacity: - - 8,860 MW serving the public grid- 47% large hydro power plants EVN: to invest in hydropower, associated natural gas, RE
Priority: electricity supply by grid extension to the rural areas EVN to connect 100% or all communes to the public grid, by 2010Remote communes (mountainous areas, off-shore islands)?
Solar and hydro energiesWind resources (costal/islands)Hydropower most important source for electr. generation 59% Discrepancies potential and utilization of RE
