The Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli, said that electricity prices in Kosovo are the lowest in the region. Speaking at the extraordinary session of the Assembly of Kosovo, where electricity is being discussed, she said that in 2025 electricity in Kosovo cost 8.17 cents per kilowatt, while in Albania it was 11.6 cents, or 41% more expensive, according to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Rizvanolli, in North Macedonia the price was 11.4 cents, 40% higher than in Kosovo, while in Serbia it was 11 cents, or 25% more expensive than in Kosovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElectricity prices in Kosovo remain the lowest in the region. In 2025 it has been 8.17 cents per kilowatt, while in Albania it has been 11.6 cents, 41% more expensive; in North Macedonia it has been 11.4 cents, 40% more expensive; while in Serbia it has been 11 cents or 25% more expensive,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rizvanolli also said that the opposition is inventing claims, including figures related to imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding import numbers, she said they have increased because \u201cinvestments are being made that were not made for 40\u201360 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSecurity of supply will improve and the lifespan of thermal power plants will increase by 20 years, and this is being done today with minimal additional cost. The reason this path was chosen is because it was the cheapest option that allows us, with a minimal increase of 1\u20132 euros per megawatt-hour sold by KEK, to cover these investments. This year investments will continue in unit B1 and next year in the installation of filters that have not been installed in the last 40 years,\u201d <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said that the Energy Regulatory Office has proposed cost profiling over two years, given that this year is more difficult because unit B is out of operation for investments that increase production and reduce pollution. Next year, she added, the situation is expected to improve, as after investments in this unit and others in the A system, production will be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rizvanolli added that according to the ERO report, profiling was done because an increase was expected this year and a possible decrease next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli, said that electricity prices in Kosovo are the lowest in the region.
