Hristo Miskovski addressed the strategic importance of AD ESM and Galiste, emphasizing that the state’s future positioning is intrinsically linked to its coastal resources. He highlighted the escalating impact of climate change, noting that the production of electrical energy will inevitably contribute to increased water consumption, a concern that extends beyond power generation and also impacts the vital tourism sector. Miskovski outlined two primary models for realizing the ambitious project involving AD ESM and Galiste.
The first concept involves securing funding from international financial institutions. This model projects a satisfactory profit period, though the construction phase itself is anticipated to span approximately ten years. The alternative approach is establishing a purely private partnership.
Considering the scope of the development, Miskovski stated that the initial focus should be on utilizing every available avenue to make the first, institutionally backed concept viable. Furthermore, he stressed that the realities of climate change mandate the implementation of two major infrastructural projects. These undertakings are expected to place additional demands on water resources.
This increased consumption is not confined solely to the generation of energy; it will also be necessary to support associated measures, such as flood mitigation and related infrastructure improvements. The development trajectory for Galiste and the broader energy sector, therefore, requires careful planning to manage these escalating demands on local water supplies while capitalizing on strategic international investment.
