North Macedonia Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
North Macedonia's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 100th globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
North Macedonia's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. North Macedonia ranked 100th globally.
North Macedonia has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year span of World Bank data, recording 100.00 % coverage in both the earliest observation in 1990 and the most recent figure for 2025, which also represents the all‑time peak. The only deviation from full coverage occurred in 2006, when the rate fell to a trough of 99.00 %, but the country swiftly restored complete access thereafter. This performance places North Macedonia alongside peers such as Malta and the Maldives, each also reporting 100.00 % access and sharing the top global rank of 100. The consistency of full coverage reflects robust grid expansion and effective policy measures that have insulated the population from supply interruptions. Looking ahead, sustaining this level will depend on integrating renewable generation, modernising infrastructure, and managing demand growth; any lag in these areas could introduce modest fluctuations, while continued investment is likely to preserve the universal access trajectory.
