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).
  • 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
