The government of Kosovo will build a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 200MWh-plus to deal with the energy crisis.
The system will stabilize the fluctuating frequency of electricity, store energy in the early hours of the morning when consumption is low, and connect with solar, wind, or similar power plants. Kosovo* will own the facilities, the ministry added.
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 The country’s current electricity system is outdated, inadequate and undependable – posing significant challenges to economic growth and development.
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.
