6 FAQs about [Kosovo solar energy limited]
How much solar power does Kosovo have?
Kosovo had just 7 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2019, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. The country recently raised its renewable energy target to an additional 400 MW of capacity by 2026. That would be enough to meet a quarter of its power demand and would reduce dependence on aging coal-fired power plants.
Where will a solar plant be built in Kosovo?
The solar plant is planned to be built in southwestern Kosovo and to come online next year. The CEO of KOSTT, Mustafa Hasani, left, and the director of Solar Energy Group Europe sh p k, Egbert Schnuse. Image: KOSTT
