JSC ELEM - Hydro Plants
The water energy presents one of the first energies used by the humans in its history. Since the 4th century before Christ has started the utilization of the water energy in purpose of moving the mill wheel, and later with the progress of the science and the technique, starts the construction of the first hydro power plants (year 1882, on the river Foks-Viskonsin) in purpose of electricity production.

The hydro power is the principal renewable energy resource discovered till present days. Its utilization is in relation with the construction of the necessary civil engineering object, as dams and accumulations, or long inflow tunnels and pipelines, which from one point of view makes the construction of the hydro power plants expensive, and from another point of view contributes to the development of the overall economy in the country. Opposite to the large construction cost, the annual costs for exploitation of the plants and production of electricity are very low.

Considering the restricted natural resources in Republic of Macedonia, the utilization of the hydro potential is of vital importance for the development of the electric power sector and the entire country. The hydro production participates with 15% in the total electricity production in AD ELEM and at first for satisfaction of the daily variations of the electricity consumption which is in purpose of achieving greater flexibility of the electric power system, as well as corresponding percentage of electricity production from renewable sources. The region of Republic Macedonia in respect of the terrain configuration and the climate conditions is predisposed for utilization of the river flows, construction of dams and smaller and larger accumulations. Today, with the existing utilization of the hydro power resources, out of the total technically useable potential are used only 26,6%. Presented in respect of the river basins it is as following:

The total volume of the accumulations in the Republic amounts to 891 million cubic meters with total annual production of 1000 GWh. The total installed power of the hydro capacities amounts to 504 MW or 39% of the total installed capacities of AD ELEM. In the AD ELEM development plans great accent is put on the construction of new hydro power plants, as well as revitalization of the existing ones.
