Tighter regional conditions lifted wholesale power costs across Southeast Europe. The increase in trading volumes and price levels indicates that North Macedonia’s market is becoming more embedded in regional short-term trading patterns, with domestic participants increasingly exposed to price signals from neighbouring Balkan and Central European markets.
Operating since May 2023, North Macedonia’s organized day-ahead electricity exchange is seeing continued growth in traded volumes. This is gradually improving the exchange’s role in transparent price formation and short-term portfolio management.
