I. GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE “KOSOVA E RE” PP PROJECT
Construction of new energy generation capacities, such as the “Kosova e Re” Power Plant (PP), stemming from the Energy Strategy of Kosovo, is a necessary prerequisite for the sustainable economic development of the country. “Kosova e Re” PP is developed in compliance with the highest technical international standards for industrial emissions (IED/BAT). On 20 December 2017, the Government of the Republic of Kosovo has signed Commercial Agreements with the investor ContourGlobal for the commencement of the construction of “Kosova e Re” PP. Today, we are approaching the final stages ahead of construction.
The decision to develop the “Kosova e Re” PP comes from a strong argument grounds, built upon several essential criteria: security of electricity supply, optimal environmental protection, establishing the Common Market and regional energy integration, economic growth and establishing preconditions for attracting foreign investments: as well as jobs creation. Considering all the criteria mentioned above, which are directly linked to the development agenda of the Republic of Kosovo institutions, the Project is vital for the future of the country.
