Potentials of RES 3. RES projects 4. Investment in RES Project in Montenegro 5. Conclusions A b b r e v i a t i o n : RES - Renewable Energy Sources 1

2 1.1. Major Strategic Commitments Reasonable valorization of available potentials Achieving a balance between energy development and environmental protection Regulatory, legislative and operational integration in the process of approaching the EU in the fields of energy and environment Implementation of obligations under thetreaty establishing the Energy Community Continuation of energy reform, while respecting sustainable development and market operation principles Ensuring social protection in the process of reform changes in energy sector Tara Canyon 1.2. Legislative RES Framework Energy sector is recognized in Montenegro (MNE) as an important driving force of the economic growth Energy Development Strategy of Montenegro until 2025 (2007) (EDS) and Action Plan The Strategy sets guidelines for energy progress and sustainable development: improving energy efficiency better use of RESe (hydro, wind, biomass) revitalization of existing and construction of new electricity infrastructure (TSO, DSO) and Montenegro as RESe investment challenge Montenegrian Katun 2
