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 3/4 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.
  • Electricity prices are much lower than the EU average (over 60% for households).
  • The energy consumption per capita is more than two times lower than the EU average.
  • Oil and lignite dominate the energy mix, despite a marked decline for lignite.
  • The country is developing several power and gas interconnection projects.
  • More than 1.8 GW of new capacity could be installed after 2025 (mainly renewables).

Abstract

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    North Macedonia is a small republic resulting from the break-up of former Yugoslavia, independent since 1991. It changed its name in 2019 from FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), ending a decades-long dispute with Greece. North Macedonia aspires to join the European Union (EU) and, accordingly, is in the process of harmonising and privatising its energy sector.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    All the gas is imported from Russia (330 mcm in 2020) through the international corridor 8 through Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria at Zidilovo (capacity of 655 mcm/year). The Klecovce­-Negotino domestic gas pipeline was completed in 2016. In 2020, North Macedonia received gas deliveries from Bulgaria through the TurkStream gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey and extended to Bulgaria.

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    The average electricity price is slightly lower in industry than in the residential sector. Prices have increased for industry by 11%/year since 2017 to €7.5c/kWh in 2020, whereas they have declined for households by 1.5%/year over this period to €8.1c/kWh in 2020.

  • Energy Consumption

    In 2020, the country's energy consumption per capita was 1.2 toe, which is over 50% below the European average, including 3 055 kWh of electricity (40% below the EU average).

    Total energy consumption decreased between 2011 and 2018 and then increased significantly in 2019 (+8%) to 2.8 Mtoe. In 2020, consumption dropped by 8%, back to 2018 levels at 2.6 Mtoe.

  • 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.
