Delivering on the promise that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made in Skopje in October 2022, the EU provided North Macedonia with 80 million EUR to tackle the energy crisis. “Energy connects us” is a campaign launched by EU Delegation in North Macedonia for promoting this support.

“Energy connects us. It connects us in these times of scarcity that we are witnessing all over Europe and globally, as a result of Russia`s inhumane war. It connects us in sharing the burden. And it connects us to the future through our efforts to turn to clean sources with minimum costs for the environment”, said EU Ambassador David Geer.

This assistance is part of a 1 billion EUR-package that the EU has prepared for the Western Balkans, as investments in clean energy. Not counting more than 250 million EUR for reform of the energy sector in the country that the EU provided with the support of the international financial institutions and EU Member States.
