Day-ahead electricity prices in Southeast Europe declined across most markets on November 6 but remained substantially higher than in Germany and Italy. Market data showed the premium persisting amid transmission constraints and dependence on imports as winter demand builds.
Serbia’s SEEPEX settled at €307.65/MWh, while Montenegro’s BELEN reached €312.87/MWh and North Macedonia’s price was €307.62/MWh. Albania remained the most expensive market at €322.58/MWh, despite falling 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 therefore 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. Regional 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.
