North Macedonia’s transmission system operator, MEPSO, has successfully brought a 400/110 kV transformer at the Manastir 2 transformer station (TS) into full operation. This new addition significantly enhances the region’s energy infrastructure, ensuring greater security and stability in electricity supply.
With the commissioning of the transformer, the entire energy system at TS Manastir 2 has been fully renovated. This upgrade will substantially reduce the strain on the transmission network, strengthening the electricity supply in key cities such as Struga, Ohrid, Resnje, Manastir, and Prilep. The improved infrastructure is expected to provide reliable electricity throughout the winter months, when demand typically rises, and will also support uninterrupted power generation at REK Manastir, the country’s primary electricity producer.
The project, initially launched in 2023, faced significant delays and setbacks under previous management. However, with new leadership in place, efforts were made to revive and expedite the project to meet the region’s energy needs more efficiently.
