11 minutes agoThis also happens: KEK experts wrongly repaired B2 Block, about half a million euros in losses per day
Periskopi(4 years ago)
(4 years ago)The current capacity to produce electricity in Kosovo does not meet the need for electricity demand on the tariff basis. Thus, to meet the demand for electricity consumption, the need for export is presented during the low fee (at midnight) and large import of electricity, especially during the high fee, on the nights of [...]
Due to the enormous increase in electricity prices on the European market, the state will focus solely on the production capacities of the Kosovo Energy Corporation - KEK.
But corporate experts are acting more amateurism in the face of this year's difficult supply threat. That's because The B2 block of the Kosova B thermal power plant is no longer producing full capacityAt least as he did last year, or a few months ago. After returning from annual renovation, this Block, as Periscope has learned, is producing exactly 199 MWh, and not 250 MW just like it did a few weeks ago.
There have been some mistakes during the renovation, and we don't know if it will stop again to increase production capacities like they used to be”, a source close to KEK said.
Skender Bucolli, spokesperson at KEK, has not wanted to respond to Periscop's interest in the issue.
If the current prices on the market become a comparison, and the loss of power production capacities of 50MW per hour, it turns out that Kosovo is losing about 500 thousand euros a day, because the price of beer for 1 megawatts is about 600 euros.
According to reports from the Energy Regulatory Office- ZERE, the installed production power at B2 is with a capacity little over 300 MW, but this production has been down for years. Even when released in the early 1980s, this block produced about 340MW. On the other hand, compared to TC Kosova A, the blocks of Kosovo B, are several younger years.
Taking into account the very expensive import of electricity, this year Kosovo needs maximum electricity production as never before.
In the past year, maximum production from all entities has gone up to 890MW a day. According to ECDS's continued statements, demand for electricity last year has reached 1300 MWh a day, what he did that the deficit was covered by import.
Currently, Kosovo electro-environmental thermocapsities are only in production of Kosovo B thermal power plants. (B1 and B2), with about 500 -520 MWH and about 160-170 megavats from renewable energy capacities (throcentrals of Kosovo and from wind-based power parks in Shala in Bajgora and Kitka in Anamorawa). According to KEK officials, the electricity shortages for Kosovo's consumption needs are largely met by the return of the loan from Albania's Electronic Corporation (KESH). /Periscopi/
