In 2005, the former state monopoly ESM (ЕСМ - Електростопанство на Македонија [Elektrostopanstvo na Makedonija], litt. Electricity of Macedonia) was split in three companies:^[6][7][3][8]

• A state-owned power-producing company ELEM (ЕЛЕМ - Електрани на Македонија [Elektrani na Makedonija], litt. Power plants of Macedonia), in charge of the country's power plants
• 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).^[9][10]
• A state-owned transmission system operator MEPSO
