The Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) held its latest meeting, approving several requests for licensing and authorizations in the fields of electricity supply, production, and self-consumption.
New Supply Licenses
Three companies have been granted licenses to supply electricity in Kosovo:
- Norwegian PX Kosovë SH.P.K.
- BE Power SH.P.K.
- Energy for Change L.L.C.
ERO Board member, Ymeridin Misini, explained that the companies met all legal requirements:
“The applications were completed in line with regulations, supported with all necessary evidence, and evaluated according to legislation for a five-year period, similar to other licenses.”
New Production License
The board also approved a 25-year production license for Energy Development Group Kosova L.L.C.
- The project was deemed complete, with all legal conditions met and documentation submitted by the respective municipality.
- The license remains valid as long as the equipment is operational.
Authorization for Solar Power Plant
ERO issued construction authorization to Lindja Solar L.L.C. for a 100 MW solar park in Kramovik and Petkoviq, Rahovec.
The project includes:
- A central station,
- Administrative and technical facilities,
- An internal substation within the solar park.
ERO Board Chairman, Ymer Fejzullahu, stressed its importance:
“This is one of the first projects to pass through competitive procedures, a requirement of the EU. We hope this will not be the last, as the energy sector urgently needs additional capacity.”
Other Authorizations
- Qazim R. Gashi B.I. – Babimoc 1, 2, and 3 (Obiliq) – 4 MW capacity.
- EBE Energy SH.P.K. – new generation authorization.
- Dozens of authorizations for self-consumption projects, including well-known businesses and institutions such as New Diamond SH.P.K., Magic Ice L.L.C., Nora Market, Bau Market – Çagllavicë, Horizon School, Kosmonte Foods SH.P.K., Jaffa Plus SH.P.K., Saba Group, and several individuals.
Key Takeaway
With these approvals, Kosovo continues to expand renewable energy capacity, attract foreign investment, and align its projects with EU energy market standards.
