Day-ahead electricity prices across most Southeast European markets fell on November 6, but remained above Germany and Italy, with Albania highest at €322.58/MWh. The regional price premium reflected persistent transmission constraints and import dependence as winter demand builds.
Serbia’s day-ahead market, SEEPEX, settled at €307.65/MWh, while Montenegro’s BELEN settled at €312.87/MWh. North Macedonia recorded €307.62/MWh. Albania’s price fell by more than €53/MWh day on day. Hungary traded at €303.62/MWh, Romania at €306.59/MWh and Bulgaria at €303.78/MWh. Greece was lower at €283.15/MWh.
Germany’s day-ahead price was €275.64/MWh and Italy’s was €281.78/MWh. Montenegro remained more than €31/MWh above Italy, while Serbia was about €32/MWh above Germany.
Regional net imports fell to 3,855 MW from 5,094 MW a day earlier. Imports through Austria and Slovakia declined by about 1,258 MW to 2,695 MW, while inflows from Italy remained high at 1,149 MW. Consumption was broadly stable at around 34,964 MW.
Forecast solar generation rose to 5,317 MW, around 2.6 GW above the previous day, adding daytime supply and short-term renewable relief without removing the structural price premium. Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania remained exposed to the marginal cost of imported electricity and the availability of cross-border capacity linking Southeast Europe with cheaper western markets.
