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.
