Kosovo: EIB accelerates green transition with €33 million for new solar
To support the green transition in Kosovo*, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €33 million investment loan for the construction one of its largest solar photovoltaic plants near Pristina - with a capacity of up to 100 MWac (120MWp). By increasing the share and capacity of solar energy in power generation, the project will contribute to energy supply
Auction
In 2024, Kosovo completed its first ever solar auction with winning bidder, the Orllati consortium, for a 100 MW solar park in Kramovik.. This groundbreaking solar auction ensured a transparent and level playing field for qualifying bidders and is a testimony to growing investor interest in Kosovo''s vast renewable energy potential.

Solar energy sources provide clean, renewable and local energy, and are essential components of a sustainable energy future. Solar energy systems (i.e., Photovoltaic Systems) offer significant environmental benefits compared to conventional power sources, but it is known that these systems have some minor negative impacts on the environment during
Solar Energy Potential In Kosovo
Kosovo is in need of energy alternatives for a more flexible energy system which could open opportunities for renewable energy. Solar power in Kosovo is still at a low percentage of less than 1%, and its future penetration is being held back by lack of investments and underdeveloped regulatory framework.
Transition Report 2023-24: Country assessments
• Kosovo has adopted an energy strategy and launched renewable energy auctions. The energy strategy affirms that coal plants will be phased out by 2050 and includes plans to scale up renewable energy capacity significantly. Kosovo''s first renewable energy auction for solar electricity generation was launched as one of the first steps.
