North Macedonia's Energy Landscape
North Macedonia relies heavily on fossil fuels -- the REK Bitola lignite power plant produces roughly 80% of domestic electricity. Energy imports supplement the rest. The country has committed to increasing renewable energy's share under its National Energy and Climate Plan, targeting 38% renewable electricity by 2030. The current renewable share is dominated by hydropower with growing solar.
A single lignite plant (REK Bitola) produces ~80% of North Macedonia's electricity.
