PROGRAM OF GOVERNMENT 2017-2020 For example, the use of solar energy in the country is the lowest compared to European countries. We will facilitate and strengthen the subsidizing of renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal and biomass) and simplify the procedures for energy projects based on renewable energy. Through specially designed programs intended primarily for rural areas, we will encourage citizens to use renewable energy sources that remain as waste from manufacturing processes. The potential for energy efficiency in Macedonia is higher than the total lack of energy that is covered by imports. That potential is greater than the capacity of all small hydropower plants to be built and to operate under preferential (feeding) rates. For the sake of using that potential, we will take additional measures and projects described in section Energy. In accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, we will calculate and encourage reduced CO2 emissions. The savings obtained in CHP as carbon credits will provide funding for energy efficiency. We will support the creation of ESCO companies, relying on their verified model for implementation of energy efficiency projects in the European Union. The Government will promote healthy, humane and just society and non-violent attitude towards animals. Following European trends and clearly defined strategies adopted by the Council of Europe and the World Health Organization (WHO), we will set up and implement humane programs to address problems with animals and fully involve all Macedonian associations for animal protection, so they contribute with their knowledge, experience and other available skills and capacities. 50
