The Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) has confirmed that electricity production is currently sufficient, with both Kosovo A and Kosovo B plants fully operational.
Despite increased consumption during cold days, KEK states that it is prepared to maintain constant energy production, providing 20 MW to the city heating system.
Skënder Bucolli from KEK said:
“Currently, we are working with all capacities, producing 17,640 MWh today, with two units from Kosovo A and two units from Kosovo B. Kosovo Energy Corporation operates steadily with four units. We cannot increase or reduce capacity. Consumption rises during winter, but we have completed all preparations and renovations. Unit B2 has undergone turbine modernization, significantly increasing its production capacity. We are currently producing 270–280 MW.”
Meanwhile, the Energy Regulatory Office (ZRRE) emphasized that Kosovo’s electricity market is served by six licensed companies, supplying various consumer categories under existing legislation, ensuring reliable and transparent energy provision.
Kosovo is interconnected with Albania, North Macedonia, and Montenegro, allowing cross-border electricity trade, while energy transactions with Serbia remain blocked, preventing commercial exchanges through that interconnection.
Historical context notes that the company EFT, which has not operated since 2021, was first licensed for energy trading in 2008, with subsequent licenses in 2011 and 2016 for supply, trading, and interconnection transit. No new licensing decisions have been issued since 2021.
