Monitoring and Verification Schemes

An M&V scheme has already been defined in the legislation in FYR of Macedonia. The obligations of the different responsible bodies are defined, while all the secondary legislation has been adopted. Nevertheless, in practice, the M&V scheme is still not functioning on full scale. The potential application of a universal IT tool for measuring energy savings could improve the system.

Best practice cases have been identified under the following topics:

  • Administrative authorities and their responsibilities
  • Sectoral and spatial analysis
  • Energy efficiency measures
  • Measurement and monitoring procedures
  • Data collection procedures
  • Verification procedures
  • Integrated tools
