KEKUUT-Deputes Director: It is not true that thermal power plants are the largest polluting in Kosovo

With the greatest satisfaction and sincerity, together with the other directors, we introduced the real state of the KEK's thermocentric impact on environmental pollution, what investments have been made so far to improve the alarming situation that we inherited, and what money can be invested until 2021 to be fully harmonised with the European Union's allowed parameters” EC chief Nijazi Thaci wrote on his social network account.

Furthermore, MPs, it is said, also visited thermal power facilities “Kosovo B” and were reported closely with its operation.

According to him, they also looked closely at the functioning of the Elektro Filtrate, which is speculated in the opinion, which is disabled in certain cases and, in turn, causes major environmental pollution.

The “Such a thing, as we witnessed even to MPs, is impossible and is not in the interest of anyone, much less, of KEK workers. We talked about many issues and offered information on every question of MPs and with particular emphasis we explained that KEK as the largest energy giant in the region and the most important value of the state cannot deny that it causes pollution, but it is a great speculation when it is said to be the main cause of pollution. KEK does not enter among pollutant with greats and should not be prejudged as such, but should identify other causes since the winter season activate coal heat and other fuel fire” further said in its status.

According to him, for information of all, KEK in the last decade has closed the cycle of major investments in environmental measurement by investing 57m euros.

We have removed tons of ash waste and other dangerous matter accumulated for centuries. We have covered and turned hundreds of hectares of degraded land. We've eliminated one of the permanent polluting that has been carrying on open ash cures by turning them into closed carriers and causing zero pollution in space. We have invested in Elektro the filters of “Kosova A” and brought it to the European Union's allowed parameters. The next 3 years with EU donations will invest another 79m euros in the environmental component of “Kosovos B”, where the change of filters is provided according to European standards and NOx. So, KEK is not the one to talk about even when prejudiced, but it is Kosovo's greatest wealth and the main economic pillar that has been worked hard for and we are continuing to work to bring electricity to this country at the cost of potentially cheap” has written KEK director Nijazi Thaci in his profile on the social Facebook network.
