Immediately after the start of the independent operation of the Kosovo energy system, Serbia stopped the transmission of 500 megawatts of electricity that Kosovo imported from that country, said the member of the Board of Directors of the Kosovo Power Market and Transmission System (KOSTT), Nebih Zarici.
Photo: BETAPHOTO / DRAGAN GOJICZaric told Radio Free Europe that these megawatts were replaced by an agreement reached between the authorities of Kosovo and North Macedonia, on the supply of the country’s energy capacities.
“It is known that Serbia is the largest producer of electricity in the region, and all countries in the region are partially supplied by Serbia. Kosovo is not meeting its power production capacity. We had a shortage of 500 megawatts. Until then, we imported those megawatts from Serbia, and at the time of the entry into force of this agreement, that is, the independence of the Kosovo energy system, Serbia stopped transmitting energy to Kosovo, ”said Zarici.
Zaric said that the 400 kV interconnection line with Albania has already been introduced into the system.
Since Monday, December 14, KOSTT has been acting as an independent entity and controlling Kosovo’s energy borders.
Kosovo’s departure from the EMS regulatory bloc (Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia) and its inclusion in the bloc with Albania is scheduled for an agreement between KOSTT and the European Network of Power Transmission System Operators (ENTSO) in June and entered into force on September 29. .
The Ministry of Economy and Environmental Protection of Kosovo announced that the implementation of the agreement with ENTSO will be in the testing phase until December 31, and that all actors in the energy sector have committed themselves in this regard.
“In this process, so far there are reports that everything is going well. “The help of international partners should not be neglected in any way,” they said in that ministry.
