Expanding renewable energy and enhancing energy efficiency
Kosovo must therefore increase its energy imports in order to provide basic services, but the country cannot afford the soaring energy prices. The significant drop in the price of solar power systems means that renewable energy now plays a crucial role in the energy transition and in ensuring a stable power supply.
Kosovo
Kosovo has previously offered feed-in tariffs for a quota of renewable energy projects, which has been fulfilled. Kosovo launched its first solar auction in May 2023, which will provide prospective bidders a guaranteed purchase price for 100 MW of solar energy.
Kosovo: EIB accelerates green transition with €33 million for new
By increasing the share and capacity of solar energy in power generation, the project will contribute to energy supply security, a faster green transition and economic growth in the region. Upon completion, the plant is expected to produce around 169 GWh of electricity and displace 174 000 tonnes of CO2 a year on average.
Increasing variable renewables in coal-based energy systems
Currently, the heating sector (in residential, commercial, and public buildings) in Kosovo is supplied by individual heating solutions including biomass boilers at 48 %, and electric boilers at 33 %, with an increasing trend in air-to-air compression heat pumps (Kosovo Agency of Statistics, n.d.-a; Kosovo Energy regulatory office, n.d.).
