North Macedonia, Skopje Wastewater Treatment Plant

North Macedonia, Skopje Wastewater Treatment Plant

Project Description

This investment project will design and build a central wastewater treatment plant for Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia.  The plant will service nine of the ten municipalities of the city, with a capacity for dealing with 625,000 people.

Currently, the wastewater generated by the city is discharged without treatment into the Vardar River, a major cross-border watercourse that flows into Greece. This investment will deliver significant environmental benefits, improve living standards, and contribute to the country’s compliance with the EU acquis. 

The EU co-funds the project under Flagship 7 - Waste and wastewater management - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
