The Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) has approved the licensing applications for electricity supply activities for the companies “Swiss Solar Park” and “Solar Neo,” while it gave the “green light” for electricity trading to the company “Alfa Company.”
The licensing of these companies for electricity supply and trading was said to be part of the ongoing liberalization of the energy market, reports KosovaPress.
At today’s meeting, ERO decided to reopen the tendering procedure for selecting the supplier of last resort (FMF).
The legal representative of the Energy Regulatory Office, Ymridin Misni, said that the licensing applications for electricity supply and trading are in accordance with the applicable laws.
“The applicant has submitted all the required documents for obtaining the electricity supply license. The files and materials can be found in the board’s dossier. It is also worth mentioning that the payment of 2,000 euros has been made, according to the regulation on fees… The license for electricity supply should be issued for a five-year period,” he said.
The Chair of ERO’s Board, Ymer Fejzullahu, stated that due to the liberalization of the electricity market, there is a large number of applications for licensing and supply, as well as for electricity trading.
“Because of the market liberalization, we have a large number of requests for licensing and supply, but at the same time also for wholesale trading. Moreover, now we also have applications for building generators aimed at the market without any support from Kosovo’s institutions. So, electricity is entering the Kosovo market. This is an incentive for investments in the energy sector or for new capacities, since they see an interest when we have a number of consumers in the market, and they view them as potential clients to whom this energy can be supplied,” he said.
ERO also approved dozens of requests from individuals and legal entities for authorization to produce electricity for self-consumption.
In addition, the annual electricity balance for 2025 was reviewed, though no specific figures or amounts were disclosed.
Meanwhile, the agenda item regarding the one-year investment plan of the Distribution System Operator (KEDS) was postponed to the next meeting due to raised remarks and comments.
