Abstract

Wind energy as renewable energy source with the highest growth rate in the last two decades, is considered as a very important source of electricity for the future. According to the study WIND FORCE which is funded and conducted by the EU, the share of wind energy in the global world electricity generation in 2020 is estimated at 12%. Following a study and atlas of wind energy prepared by AWS Truewind, projected installed capacity at four most favorable locations in Macedonia varies from 20 MW to 30 MW per location. First wind park installed and operated by the state-owned electricity producing company (JSC Macedonian Power Plants - ELEM), started with operation in April 2014, on a location near Bogdanci. Analysis and experiences from its operation in terms of investment costs, operation and maintenance costs, electricity production and return on investment period, taking into account current feed-in tariffs for wind energy production in the country are also presented in the article
