Introduction
(ERO) is an independent company which sets the regulatory framework founded on the principals of free trade. The energy price is determined by different factors: operative cost, maintenance cost, import and other factors. The decrease of commercial and technical losses would affect positively. Factors that have kept the low prizes until now are: foreign investments as grants,subventions, the lack of investments for environment.
Initium energy Kosovo
Framing the Just Transition in Kosovo
In 2023, the Parliament of Kosovo adopted the Energy Strategy for 2022-2031 (hereaf-ter: the Strategy). The Strategy, drafted by the Ministry of Economy and endorsed by the Government, is the highest policy-set-ting document of the energy sector. The Strategy is unique insofar as it rejects the possibility of new coal-based generation

MoreFAQs 6
Does Kosovo need a lignite power plant?
Kosovo, rich in lignite coal reserves, relies on outdated Yugoslav-era power plants that cannot meet its increasing energy demands. The 2023 National Energy Strategy aims to raise renewable energy to 35% of the energy mix, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 32%, and phase out a lignite-fired power unit by 2031.
Should Kosovo invest in energy transition beyond coal?
We find that Kosovo can seize on the readiness of international financial institutions and development banks to invest in the country’s energy transition beyond coal. Kosovo can use these funds to develop a world-class, energy-efficient, renewables-based economy.
What is the energy mix in Kosovo?
The oth-er generation capacities in Kosovo come from hydropower plants while renewables are less represented in the energy mix al-though their representation has been rising in the last decade. Currently, Kosovo has 137 MW installed wind capacity and 10 MW installed solar capacities.
Why is electricity expensive in Kosovo?
Usually, in Kosovo the imported energy is much more expensive than export. This is because Kosovo imports energy one day before needed, in the other hand energy is exported during the night when the demands are under generating level. Imports and exports have a negative impact for electrical energy price.
Does Kosovo need a new energy sector?
Given this background, the Government of Kosovo has prioritized the modernization and improvement of the country’s energy sector, and has asked its development partners, including the World Bank, European Commission, KfW, USAID, as well as other donors, for support and assistance.
What is the energy strategy in Kosovo?
The main policymaking document in the energy sector in Kosovo is the Energy Strat-egy (hereafter: the Strategy). The Strategy is drafted by the Ministry of Economy, covers a period of ten years and has to identify the main challenges that the sector faces and outline the policies to develop the sector.
