History

In 2005, the former state monopoly ESM (ЕСМ - Електростопанство на Македонија [Elektrostopanstvo na Makedonija], litt. Electricity of Macedonia) was split in three companies:[5][6][7][8]

  • A distribution and supply company, initially called ESM AD, sold in 2006 to Austrian EVN Group and renamed as EVN Macedonia (EВН Македонија), rebranded in 2019 as EVN AD Skopje (ЕВН АД Скопје).[3][9]
  • A state-owned power-producing company, initially called ELEM (ЕЛЕМ - Електрани на Македонија [Elektrani na Makedonija], litt. Power plants of Macedonia), in charge of the country's power plants. The company was renamed in 2019 as ESM (Elektrani na Severna Makedonija, ЕСМ - Електрани на Северна Македонија, litt. Power plants of North Macedonia) after the country itself changed its name to North Macedonia, reverting to the initialism used between 1990 and 2006.
  • A state-owned transmission system operator MEPSO
