The Transmission, System, and Market Operator of Kosovo’s electricity sector (KOSTT) has stated that insufficient energy nominations from KESCO are threatening the stability of the electricity system. KOSTT said it is facing extraordinary difficulties in balancing the system in real time.
In a statement, KOSTT said that, starting at 10:00 AM, it may be forced to implement load-shedding measures.
“KOSTT is experiencing extraordinary difficulties in real-time system balancing due to significant deviations between nominated energy and actual demand. Today, January 20, 2025, KESCO has nominated approximately 26.17% less energy than the real demand, resulting in an average imbalance in the KOSTT Control Area of around 211 MWh, with some hours exceeding 260 MWh. This situation is unacceptable and threatens the stability of the electricity system. KOSTT urges that nominations accurately reflect real demand and be corrected immediately to prevent deviations and ensure system security. In this situation, starting at 10:00 AM, KOSTT is compelled to request the application of load reduction measures as a last resort to guarantee safe operation until conditions improve,” KOSTT stated.
