Kosovo* will own the facilities, the ministry added. Economy minister Artane Rizvanolli said the program would back the independence of the national energy system and enable its transformation. The details will be made known after negotiations between the government and MCC, planned for May.
The Kosovo energy strategy includes increasing RES capacity to 35% of electricity consumption by 2031. Aiming for 600 MW wind, 600 MW solar PV, 20 MW biomass & at least 100 MW of prosumer capacity, to reach a total installed RES capacity of 1600 MW by 2031. Lignite exploitation in Kosovo started in 1922.
