EVN Macedonia

EVN Macedonia is a power distribution and supply company in North Macedonia.[3] It was split in 2005 from former state integrated power company ESM and bought in 2006 by Austrian-based EVN Group.[4] The company has about 800 000 electricity meters in the country.[5]

History

In 2005, the former state monopoly ESM (ЕСМ – Електростопанство на Македонија [], litt. Electricity of Macedonia) was split in three companies:[6][7][8][9]

  • A distribution and supply company, initially called ESM AD, sold in 2006 to Austrian EVN Group and renamed as EVN Macedonia (EВН Македонија).
  • A state-owned power-producing company, initially called ELEM (ЕЛЕМ – Електрани на Македонија [], 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
