North Macedonia Renewable in % Electricity Production
The target set in the 2017 amendment of the National Renewable Action Plan (NREAP) of nearly 24% of renewables in final energy consumption in 2020 was missed by almost 5 points (19.2% in 2020). In 2022, renewables covered 19% of final energy consumption, including 24% for electricity, 37% for heating and cooling, and less than 0.1% for transport.

North Macedonia CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
North Macedonia's NECP (2022) retains the GHG emission cut targets set in the 2021 NDC, i.e., reducing GHG emissions by 51% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels (from 12.5 MtCO2eq to 6.1 MtCO2eq), which corresponds to an 82% cut in net GHG emissions (taking into account LULUCF) between 1990 and 2030 (from around 10 MtCO2eq to 2.2 MtCO2eq). Total GHG emissions should be cut by 66% in the energy sector, by 45% in industrial processes and Product Use, 29% in agriculture, 95% in forest and land use, and 21% in the waste sector.
