North Macedonia — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 28 energy assets in North Macedonia across 7 layers — the 116th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 16 power plants, 5 coal / uranium mines and 3 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 1.5 GW, led by coal at 54%.

The companies named on the most assets are Elektrani na Severna Makedonija AD (12), ESM (5) and MER JSC Skopje (3), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of North Macedonia's mapped assets in service predate 1980 (median commissioning year of the 12 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Usje Cement Plant, dating from 1955. 12 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Negotino power station (800 MW).
