The system for energy storage through batteries will stabilize the country’s electricity system and reduce the cost of energy imports.
This was stated by the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, at the conference organized by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCA Kosovo), regarding the pre-qualification procedures for the Design and Construction of Large Energy Storage Systems through Batteries.
The Prime Minister, Kurti, stated that with this energy storage system, the security and reliability of energy supply will increase.
He added that 125 megawatts of this system will operate under the Energy Corporation and another 45 megawatts under KOSTT.
“It is good to start the year with such a success for the energy sector. For decades, Kosovo has faced difficulties. We have not only needed investments but also a vision that brings results that cannot be reversed. We have set ourselves ambitious goals and have set a vision that is both solid and far-sighted. We know that building new capacities is not enough, we are making sure that we build the right infrastructure to support the new capacities. We are officially opening the pre-qualification process for the construction of battery energy storage systems, which we will place in Ferizaj and Istog. 125 megawatts of this system will operate under the Energy Corporation and another 45 megawatts under KOST, which will be used for grid balancing… They will have an immediate and direct impact. Firstly, they will stabilize the country’s electricity system, and reduce the cost of energy imports. Secondly, they will increase the security and reliability of energy supply, both for households and businesses, and thirdly, we will pave the way for further integration of energy from renewable sources, such as wind, water and sun,” said Kurti.
