Energy Storage Project
The Energy Storage Project aims to support Kosovo''s energy security by using battery storage systems to provide reserves, improving system availability, and reducing the cost of securing
In fact, a 2018 study by the World Bank, which had for years supported the construction of Kosova e Re, found that if taking carbon and pollution costs into account, a combination of renewables and battery storage would be the most cost-effective solution for Kosovo's electricity sector.
In order to boost employment, increase growth, reduce poverty, and improve people's lives, Kosovo needs affordable and reliable energy. The country's current electricity system is outdated, inadequate and undependable – posing significant challenges to economic growth and development.
Around90% percent of energy production in Kosovo is from lignite, a soft coal that produces toxic pollution when burnt. Official figures show Kosovo has the world's fifth largest lignite reserves of 12-14 billion tonnes. Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
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.
