Highlights
- The NECP targets a share of 38% of renewables in the final consumption in 2030 and 42% in 2040.
- ESM, a state-owned company, represents around 2/3 of total power production.
- Most of the oil and gas supply is controlled by private companies.
- Lignite represents more than half of the power mix.
- The country is fully dependent on oil and gas imports.
- Oil and gas prices follow international prices with gas prices more than doubling in 2022.
- Since 2021, electricity prices have slightly increased for households, while industrial prices nearly doubled in 2021 and grew by 47% in 2022.
- The energy consumption per capita is more than two times lower than the EU average.
- Oil and lignite dominate the energy mix, with higher lignite consumption in 2022 due to high gas and electricity prices.
- The country is developing several power and gas interconnection projects.
- Many solar projects have been announced.
Institutions & Energy Policy
North Macedonia (called FYROM until 2019) is a small republic resulting from the break-up of former Yugoslavia, independent since 1991. It is part of the Energy Community Treaty with the EU (along with Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine), which aims at creating a pan-European energy market.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil supplies are covered by imports. North Macedonia ended crude oil imports in 2013, when the 50 kb/d OKTA refinery was shut down. Oil product imports, most of which comes from Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania, have been standing at around 1.3 Mt since 2019.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Since 2020, higher prices on the European wholesale markets have contributed to raise electricity prices in North Macedonia. The ERC has limited the price increase for households supplied under the universal service obligation but not for industry (temporary subsidies for about 200 food producers and 600 bakeries between November 2022 and March 2023).
Energy Consumption
In 2022, the country's energy consumption per capita was 1.3 toe, which is 58% below the European average, including 3 200 kWh of electricity (44% below the EU average).
Total energy consumption recovered in 2021 (+4.2%) and 2022 (+2.8%) to 2.8 Mtoe, after an 8.7% drop in 2020. It tended to decrease between 2011 and 2018 (-2.7%/year) and rose by 9% in 2019.
Issues & Prospects
According to the NECP, primary energy consumption will grow by 35% between 2017 and 2040 to 3.5 Mtoe, while final energy consumption will increase by 55% to 2.8 Mtoe.
