Energy Development Strategy until 2025

GOAL: Ensure sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply by
increasing energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable sources
 STRATEGIC COMMITTMENTS:
- common market for electricity and natural gas
- efefficient energy consumption and generation
- use of renewable energy sources
• Montenegro, as ecological state and SAA signatory, supports the
intention of the EU to achieve the objectives set in January 2007 by 2020:

Reduce greenhouse gases emission by 20%

Increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption by 20%

Raise share of renewable energy sources to 20%

Raise share of biofuels to at least 10%

Regional and cross-border
projects in climate change/energy
•
Technical assistance to MMTEP for EU reporting obligations and
toward the harmonization of national legislation with the Acquis
Communautaire of the EU in the sectors of air quality, industrial
pollution control and climate change
– producing national emission inventories aimed at the integration within the
“Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP)” Convention and
identifying the interactions with the greenhouse gases emissions inventories
carried out in accordance with the UNFCCC
– assistance in the field of air quality assessment and management, by
means of realization of emissions inventories at local scale, air quality
monitoring in urban and tourist areas and application of integrated models
for the evaluation of the present air quality status and the definition of
possible future scenarios and effects of reduction strategies
