Kosovo

Kosovo's first solar power tender winner, Orllati consortium, secures 100-MW project at EUR 48.88 per MWh, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and promote renewable energy.

Kosovo released a contract notification for investors curious about structure and also running a solar energy plant on public land. The place in Kramovik was identified for 95 MW to 105 MW in connection capacity.

Kosovo is planning to construct a 70MW solar plant, with funding offered by Germany and also the European Bank for Reconstruction as well as Development (EBRD).

Researchers state the innovation could aid drive clean power deployment in nations with limited grids or in separated, coal-based energy systems. According to their version, Kosovo might see a solid boost in wind and PV ability if power-to-heat is coupled with thermal energy storage space for fixed-capacity district home heating.

The World Bank’s private investment arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), has agreed to provide a financing package of US$50 million to Kiev-based firm OTP Leasing for sustainable energy investments in Ukraine.

The Balkan nation is planning a tender for 50 MW of utility scale solar capacity on a public-private partnership basis with help from the International Finance Corporation. The World Bank’s private finance arm is procuring a technical, environmental and social consulting firm to advise on the project.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is helping the Kosovan government develop a competitive scheme for the award of payments to renewable energy generators. The Balkan state wants to add 400 MW of clean energy capacity by 2026.
