(8 years ago)New Kosovo thermal power plant “will bring an increase in the price of electricity bills, as a consequence of the high price Kosovo must pay for a megava produced by this thermal power plant, says Luan Shllaku, executive director of the Kosovar Foundation for Open Society (KFOS) and prominent civil society activist, writes [...]
In addition, the contract signed in December 2017, Shllaku points out, will disturb the energy market in Kosovo.
“Designing the purchase of electricity by 80 euros for a megawatt hour, which in most cases will be a multiple price higher than that of the market, will force Government to ease this price before it luckizes citizens after passing through the Turkish distributor KEDS. And how will he do that? There is no choice but to put your hand in the next citizen's pocket, with which he fills the state budget”
Shllaku, who is an expert on energy and environmental issues, has expressed these views in an interview with the newspaper “Koha Ditore”, where he analyzed the key contract points for the “New Kosovo”, which will be built by the American company “Contour Global”.
