Is the electricity sector in Kosovo based on coal-fired power plants?
The electricity sector in Kosovo* is almost entirely dependent on coal-fired power plants (97%). This investment project will install a solar photovoltaic plant of up to 100 MW capacity on former ash dump fields near Kosovo A thermal power plant.
How will a solar power plant affect Kosovo's energy mix?
This will be the first large-scale solar photovoltaic plant in Kosovo and will increase installed capacities tenfold from 10.1 MW to 110.1 MW. As a result, the share of solar power in the energy mix of Kosovo will increase from 0.2% to 2.3%. The plant is expected to produce around 152 GWh of electricity and save 152,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Does Kosovo have a solar power plant?
As a result, the share of solar power in the energy mix of Kosovo will increase from 0.2% to 2.3%. The plant is expected to produce around 152 GWh of electricity and save 152,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The EU co-funds the investments under Flagship 4 - Renewable energy - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
How many thermal power plants are there in Kosovo?
Kosovo’s two existing thermal power plants, Kosova A and Kosova B, were built in and , respectively. Despite a combined installed capacity of 1,478MW, the two plants have a current operational capacity of 915MW using 7.2 million tonnes (Mt) of coal a year.
How much electricity does Kosova produce?
Kosova A and B produce approximately 1,500GWh and 3,750GWh respectively on an average, together accounting for 75% of the country’s electricity demand. A new power plant with an installed capacity up to 2,100MW to replace the ageing plant was proposed in .
