In terms of gross electricity production, the country generated 583,152 MWh, which represents a decline of 6.7% compared to the same month the previous year. Thermal power plants contributed 166,976 MWh, accounting for 28.6% of total output; however, this figure reflects a significant year-on-year decrease of 43.7%. Conversely, hydropower plants saw a notable increase in output, producing 178,448 MWh or 30.6% of total generation, driven by improved water availability and enhanced hydro performance.
Combined heat and power (CHP) facilities added 125,612 MWh to the grid, down by 13.9%, while wind energy contributed 29,893 MWh (5.13%). Additionally, biogas plants generated 2,630 MWh, and solar energy—including contributions from prosumers—accounted for 79,594 MWh or 13.6% of total production. This underscores the increasing significance of distributed renewable generation in North Macedonia’s energy landscape.
Electricity imports fell to 154,600 MWh from 206,024 MWh a year prior, indicating a reduction in reliance on external sources. Exports also saw a sharp decline to 37,037 MWh compared to 84,092 MWh in February 2025. Overall, these figures point to a structural shift in North Macedonia’s energy production towards hydropower and solar sources while diminishing dependence on thermal generation and experiencing reduced cross-border electricity trade activity.
