Montenegro’s energy mix is dominated by hydropower and coal, which together typically provide over 90% of its electricity. In 2025, the country is undergoing a significant temporary shift as its only coal plant is shut down for reconstruction, pushing the renewable share of domestic production to an estimated 80%.

Montenegro is strategically positioning itself as a regional pioneer in the green hydrogen sector, recently adopting a Green Hydrogen Development Program with a specific 2026–2028 Action Plan. The country views green hydrogen as a key tool for long-term decarbonization, particularly in sectors where direct electrification is difficult.

As of 2026 there’s no information indicating that Montenegro is actually producing green hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.
