Economy Minister Artane Rizvanolli has warned a winter of major energy challenges for Kosovo, as, according to her, the electricity price has seized 500 euros per megava-hour in early November. The current situation has compared it to the energy crisis of 2021, when such prices were recorded at the height of winter.

The minister said this increase resulted from the Iran war and the blocking of the Hormuz Strait.

Rizvanolli has declared 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.

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.
