Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Montenegro

Who controls the grid

CGES runs transmission; EPCG, majority state-owned, generates and distributes.

Markets & power exchanges

Regional grid

  • ENTSO-E · Continental European gridRegional grid

    Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

What does “Wholesale market” mean?

Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
