About electricity prices in North Macedonia

North Macedonia relies on lignite-fired plants, hydropower and gas-fired generation, with solar expanding quickly, and it imports a significant share of its needs. Households are served by a universal supplier at regulated tariffs approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission, while larger consumers buy on the open market.

Bills are issued in Macedonian denars and most homes have two-rate meters with a cheaper tariff at night and weekends. District heating exists only in Skopje and the gas network is small, so electricity, wood and in some places coal are the main heating sources, which drives consumption up sharply in winter. Rooftop solar for self-consumption has become more common in recent years.
