Market data showed North Macedonia’s day-ahead electricity market traded 186,900 MWh in October, up 27.6% from October 2025, while its average market-clearing price rose 49.3% from September to EUR 224.74/MWh. Tighter regional conditions lifted wholesale power costs across Southeast Europe.
October’s traded volume was 4.3% above the previous month, with average daily trading at 6,029 MWh. The total compared with 146,498 MWh in October 2025.
The average market-clearing price reached EUR 224.74/MWh. The reported October peak-price average was EUR 210.9/MWh.
Higher volume and price levels indicate that North Macedonia’s market is becoming more embedded in regional short-term trading patterns. Domestic participants are increasingly exposed to price signals from neighbouring Balkan and Central European markets.
North Macedonia’s organized day-ahead electricity exchange began operating in May 2023. Continued growth in traded volumes is gradually improving its role in transparent price formation and short-term portfolio management.
