How can Kosovo improve its energy sector?
The Government of Kosovo aims to put its energy sector on a sustainable path, through developing renewable energy potential, improving energy efficiency, closing a 50-year-old power plant, and rehabilitating another old power plant.
Does Kosovo have solar power?
Kosovo has the potential of capturing solar energy directly and converting it to electricity. The region of highest solar potential based on global horizontal irradiation is the southwestern part of Kosovo, centred around the city of Gjakova. Solar power is already used on the roofs of some buildings.
Why is Kosovo building a photovoltaic plant?
Kosovo’s Minister of Finance, Labour and Transfers Hekuran Murati said: “The signing of today's agreement for the construction of the photovoltaic plant is a landmark moment as Kosovo advances its initiatives to secure renewable energy use for its citizens.
Does Kosovo need a power plant?
Kosovo has one of the world’s largest lignite-coal reserves and it remains dependent on two depreciated and inefficient Yugoslav-era power plants which do not meet Kosovo’s energy needs.
Why is the EIB funding a solar plant in Kosovo?
The EIB is providing €33 million for the construction of one of Kosovo’s largest solar photovoltaic plants. The new plant will contribute to higher energy security and the phasing out of coal-based power generation.
How many hydroelectric power plants are there in Kosovo?
Hydroelectric power generation is mainly provided by Ujmani power station with a capacity of 70 MW. In the past, Kosovo has had four functional hydroelectric power plants. After the war they stopped working, but they have been rehabilitated in the recent years. Lumbardhi hydroelectric power plant was rehabilitated in .
