North Macedonia’s day-ahead electricity market traded 186,900 MWh in October, 27.6% more than in 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.
Trading volume was up from 146,498 MWh in October 2025 and 4.3% from the previous month. Average daily traded volume reached 6,029 MWh. The reported October peak-price average was EUR 210.9/MWh.
The figures show the market becoming more embedded in regional short-term trading, with domestic participants 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.
