Worship Hadzimus, energy field connoisseur, says the government must take urgent measures to overcome this crisis. It proposes reducing the use of electricity.
The first step Kosovo institutions can make is to reduce the use of electricity, both in households and in businesses and in public institutions. We are now heading towards winter and should become optimising heat for those who heat up with electricity”, Haxhimusa told RTK.
Energy prices at international beads are high and unstable. Among the main factors that have caused this are pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
And for that, Haxhimusa says the price of electricity will continue to be high in international stock exchanges, at least by 2025.
” Prices for 2025 have a level of about 300 euros per hour of megawatts. So. Since an hour of megawatts cost 50 euros in 2019, it is now said that in the future, in 2025, it will cost 300 euros per hour of megawatts. A stabilisation of electricity prices” is not expected for the next five years, he said.
Days ago the Kosovar Power Supply Company KESCO has requested the cost of electricity. K ESCO has surrendered to the Energy Regulatory Office ZRE, proposal for new electricity tariffs for double energy prices.
And for this Lulzim Syla, energy expert says this KESCO demand should be approved as full by ZRE.
The question is that this should be negotiated both by the Ministry of Finance and Government and other GRE acts, with the aim of agreeing that financial burdens and burdens are affordable for households, for businesses, but also to stimulate those who consume less electricity. ”
Kosovo has the capacity to produce about 800 megawatts per hour, while its needs -- in winter days -- reach up to 1,300 megawatts per hour, which are provided by import.
