Electricity from Albania to Kosovo, broadcast starts Friday morning

According to Balluk, it is projected that the energy to be provided to the Republic of Kosovo be enabled by deposits, as the sector is being favoured by rainfall. She stressed that the agreement on power giving Kosovo is only for these two holiday days.

Balluk said that Albania as well as many other countries in the region, but still further, is at a difficult time in terms of energy situations, so the move is a kind of sacrifice.

Albania's “Republic, like all other countries, not only of the region but throughout the world faces a very deep energy crisis. So we will sacrifice and remove our reserves to send to the Republic of Kosovo. We've made a accord with KEK and the amount sent will be 7680 megawatts and will begin broadcasting by 7:00 on December 31st and broadcast by 24:00 on January 1st,”, Balluk said.

In response to media interest, Balluk reaffirmed that the energy given to Kosovo is estimated at 7680 megawatts, and that for this Kosovo will not pay money but will return the amount of energy over the summer period when Albania faces a lack of rainfall.

The “will be an instrument that we call storage, so everything we send will not have financial exchanges, we do not expect from the Republic of Kosovo in these conditions of hardship that they are in, even because of the measures and energy cuts that they have undertaken to pay before the Republic of Albania, but this amount that we will deposit during the two days of holidays will be returned to us when they have summer-time comfort, so from June to September, when Albania faces the difficulties of the hidrite reserves<1>, she came.

Balluk said that on the basis of rainfall and consumption forecasts during the typical holidays in Albania, it is planned to provide energy to Albanian citizens, otherwise said they will have to import.
