In fact, a 2018 study by the World Bank, which had for years supported the construction of Kosova e Re, found that if taking carbon and pollution costs into account, a combination of renewables and battery storage would be the most cost-effective solution for Kosovo’s electricity sector.
Kosovo* will own the facilities, the ministry added. Economy minister Artane Rizvanolli said the program would back the independence of the national energy system and enable its transformation. The details will be made known after negotiations between the government and MCC, planned for May.
On the other hand, Neshati noted that “The Energy Storage Project is the largest energy project in Kosovo in decades and the most significant Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Europe (MW per capita). “.
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.
Different sources estimate different potential for solar and wind in Kosovo. These could be combined with Albania’s existing hydropower to make a much more flexible electricity system, and in December 2019, the two countries agreed to set up a common electricity market.
The compact program for a grant to Kosovo*, estimated at USD 234 million, consists of two projects: batteries with an installed capacity of 200 MWh, and the development of the workforce and involvement of women in the energy sector, the Ministry of Economy said.
