Electricity trading on North Macedonia’s day-ahead market increased sharply in August, while the average clearing price rose by almost a third compared with July, pointing to stronger activity and higher short-term power prices.
Trading volume reached 199,699 MWh, an increase of 32.8% from July and 58.1% compared with approximately 126,292 MWh recorded in August 2025.
Market operator MEMO reported an average clearing price of €136.87/MWh, up 29.3% month on month. Average daily trading volume stood at around 6,442 MWh, while the reported average peak price was €110.50/MWh.
The August figures mark another step in the development of North Macedonia’s organised electricity market, which began operations in May 2023. Rising exchange-based trading activity is contributing to greater transparency in short-term electricity procurement and price formation.
The continued increase in trading volumes and market prices highlights the growing role of the day-ahead market in North Macedonia’s power sector and its importance for more transparent wholesale electricity trading in the region.
