North Macedonia produced 408,045 MWh of electricity in June 2026, down 13.2% from the same month a year earlier, as weaker thermal, wind and solar generation outweighed a strong increase in hydropower output.
Total electricity consumption reached 446,814 MWh, with domestic generation covering 91.3% of demand, according to figures cited from the State Statistical Office.
Thermal power plants produced 131,405 MWh, equivalent to 32.2% of total production, but output was 23.6% lower year on year.
Hydropower moved in the opposite direction. Hydro plants generated 99,639 MWh, or 24.4% of total output, representing a 36% increase compared with June 2025.
Wind farms produced 14,010 MWh, down 13.4%, while solar plants, including prosumers, generated 159,796 MWh. Solar remained the country’s largest individual generation source during the month with a 39.2% share, although output was 12.2% below the previous year.
Electricity imports fell to 99,906 MWh, from 113,250 MWh in June 2025. Exports declined more sharply, reaching 61,137 MWh compared with 102,494 MWh a year earlier.
The data underline a generation mix increasingly shaped by solar and hydro variability. Although domestic production covered most consumption during June, the decline in thermal and renewable output left the system dependent on imports for part of its balance.
