Montenegro remained a net electricity importer on 6 November, with a net import position of around 232 MW, while scheduling substantial exports to neighbouring Balkan markets. The position widened from 193 MW on 5 November.
Commercial schedules showed imports of approximately 566 MW from Italy on a baseload basis and around 44 MW from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Montenegro scheduled exports of approximately 150 MW to Albania, 174 MW to Kosovo and 55 MW towards Serbia.
Average domestic electricity consumption rose to 370 MW from 294 MW a day earlier. Generation increased to 139 MW from 101 MW over the same period.
The reported generation mix for 5 November was 83% wind and 17% hydro, with no coal generation recorded. Domestic generation remained highly dependent on weather conditions, while limited dispatchable supply helps explain Montenegro’s exposure to regional electricity prices.
BELEN, Montenegro’s electricity market, settled at €312.87/MWh on 6 November. That was around €9.24/MWh above Hungary’s electricity price and more than €31/MWh above the Italian national electricity price.
Montenegro increasingly uses imports to supply its domestic electricity deficit while redistributing power between Italy and the Western Balkans through its interconnections. Cross-border capacity, hydro conditions and wind availability are critical determinants of domestic prices and trading opportunities.
