Finnish photovoltaic energy storage kosovo research and development

What is a photovoltaic system in Kosovo?

The project is an important milestone for the transition of the energy supply in the Western Balkan countries towards a sustainable electricity supply. This is the first large-scale photovoltaic system in Kosovo that can increase the installed capacity of photovoltaic energy from the current 10.1 MW (2022) to up to 110.1 MW.

Can a large-scale photovoltaic system increase energy capacity in Kosovo?

This is the first large-scale photovoltaic system in Kosovo that can increase the installed capacity of photovoltaic energy from the current 10.1 MW (2022) to up to 110.1 MW. The project contributes to the achievement of these following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Why is Kosovo launching a green energy project?

The project therefore sets an important milestone for more green electricity in Kosovo’s energy sector. Kosovo’s energy sector is the main driver of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. It is based on the use of two coal-fired power plants. They are in poor condition, technologically outdated and inadequately maintained.

Should Kosovo develop a resilient critical energy infrastructure?

veloping a Resilient Critical Energy In-frastructure in Kosovo:As a vast amount of energy in house-holds in Kosovo is used for heating, the Government of osovo should focus on enhancing the thermal energy capaci-ties. While it conducts feasibility studies in eight municipalities, it should focus on finding in

How will a solar power plant benefit Kosovo?

The solar power plant will help save more than 130,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. In total, 152 GWh of green electricity will be produced annually, benefiting Kosovo households, public institutions and companies. Power outages are expected to be less frequent in the future.

Why is Kosovo's Energy System unflexible?

en more vital and complex for developing states such as Kosovo. The key vulnerability of Kosovo’s energy sys-tem is the vast reliance on the two old lignite-fired thermal power plants for gen-eration. Thus, this high reliance on lignite power plants makes the energy system unflexible, leading to unstable security of supply, unrelia
