4 FAQs about Kosovonin Wind and Solar Energy Storage Power Station

What is Kosovo's Energy Strategy?

The energy strategy foresees 170 MW in battery operating power. In addition, procedures are scheduled to be announced in the fourth quarter for a solar power plant of 100 MW for government-controlled power utility Kosovo Energy Corp. (KEK) and a solar thermal system for district heating in Prishtina, according to Rizvanolli.

What energy sources can Kosovo use?

There are three main sources of energy Kosovo can potentially use to satisfy this demand—lignite, gas and renewables. Lignite: We no longer see any realistic prospect for external financing of a new lignite power plant in Kosovo.

How much will Kosovo's new solar power plant cost?
