A just transition is a process that should lead to green and sustainable
development of the local community. As such, it derives from the process of
the Green Agenda of the European Union, as well as the Green Agenda for the
Western Balkans, and should represent an alternative solution for the regions
covered by coal, which is used fossil fuel for the production of electricity. In
the Republic of North Macedonia we have two regions that are covered by
coal and thermal power plants that produce electricity by using coal. The
Republic of North Macedonia, in accordance with the Green Agenda and the
policies of the EU, has undertaken the obligation that by 2030 it will close or
convert the energy production of the thermal power plants. The new way of
producing electricity will mean at least halving the number of employees in
the power plants due to the different way of production and the different need
for manpower to maintain the plants which means that there will be negative
impacts to the local economy as well as to the economic development of the
state. This is where the main questions arise - does the local population have
enough information about the processes, do we have enough alternative
sources of income, but also do we have a guideline on how to get involved in the processes and make the municipalities greener. Also, it is very important to
know the role of each of stakeholders in the process which is related to the legal
regulation in the area, capacity and efficiency of institutions and municipalities
to deal with this processes etc. This research paper is trying to answer the most
of these questions that are arising when we have in focus green transition,
economic development and the capacity of institutions.
