Economy Minister Artane Rizvanolli has warned a difficult energy winter, saying prices on international markets have reached about 500 euros per megawatt-hour since the early days of November.

The TV show on Canal10 has compared the current situation to the energy crisis in 2021 when such prices were recorded at the height of winter.

She has said that one of the main reasons for this situation is the conflict in Iran and the closure of the Hormuz Strait, which has affected the supply of liquid oil and natural gas.

Rizvanolli has stressed that Kosovo is also facing challenges, especially because of the Kosovo B1 thermal power block Kosova B, which has been out of office since April 6th due to investments in electrofiltra and the deregulation system.

According to her, the project has been delayed, while the ministry has been in constant communication with KEK and the European Union for accelerating the works.

As a move to cope with the situation, the minister has indicated that inter-conception capacities have increased with Albania, Montenegro and northern Macedonia for 350 megawatts total. / KP
