How will the EU support the energy transition in Kosovo?

The EU will support the energy transition and sustainable development of Kosovo through another 100-megawatt solar electricity project with the Kosovo Energy Cooperation.” The EU’s contribution to solar heating and electricity projects in Kosovo will total almost €56 million.

How much will Germany contribute to Kosovo's solar energy project?

The EU’s contribution to solar heating and electricity projects in Kosovo will total almost €56 million. "Germany has supported Kosovo in its transition from coal to sustainable energy and decarbonisation in accordance with the objectives of the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans,” said Germany’s Deputy Ambassador to Kosovo Matthias Conrad.

Will Kosovo become the first economy to use solar power?

Kosovo will become the first economy in the Western Balkans region to use solar power to heat homes. The Ministry of Finance, Labour and Transfers signed a financing agreement on the Solar4Kosovo district heating project on behalf of Kosovo in Pristina today.

How can Kosovo improve its energy sector?

The Group’s commitment to helping Kosovo improve its energy sector is broad: projects are designed to improve energy efficiency, ease the policy and regulatory environment for renewable energy and energy efficiency, address the environmental legacy of the old power plants, upgrade power generation to meet demand, and improve water supply.

How much lignite does Kosovo produce a year?

The annual production is expected to be more than 243,000 megawatt hours (MWh), the company said on its website. Kosovo is rich in lignite, a soft coal whose relatively low energy content translates to especially toxic pollution when burnt. Kosovo has the world's fifth largest lignite reserves of 12-14 billion tonnes, official figures show.

Renewable energy services Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has 76.5 Mha agricultural land, 10 Mha forest and 185 Mha steppe grasslands providing abundant biomass wastes and residues which have the potential to generate arrange of bioenergy services. Kazakhstan produces and exports crops such as wheat (winter and spring), rye (winter), maize (for grain), barley (winter and spring), oats, millet, buckwheat, rice and pulses, with an average grain yield of 17.5–20 Mt, which equates to roughly 12–14Mt of biomass waste.
