(3 years ago)A series of works are envisioned to take place at the two thermal power plant units “Kosovo B” this year. This will affect the lack of energy being met by import at a price more expensive than KEDS is currently supplied by KEK. The situation is expected to be about six months long [...]
As temperatures rise, electricity consumption decreases, KEDS is importing about 4 thousand megawatts of energy per day to cover consumer needs.
Lack of domestic production has contributed to increased import of energy.
This situation will last at least six months, as a series of works are scheduled to take place in the two units of the “thermal power plant, Kosovo B”.
“C-B during 2023 will have two capital rates of units B-1 and B-2, each at a length of three months. According to the planning, the B-2 unit's capital remont has started with 16.04.23 and is expected to be completed after 3 months, when even planned to start capital remont of the B-1” unit, the Kosovo Energy Corporation said in a response.
In addition to capital remontes in these entities, it is first to implement a series of projects aimed at increasing the capacity of the entity's production and security of operation.
In both long-term blocks, there will also be cadda repairs, which are a prerequisite for launching the project for installing electrofils and DeNox, a project funded by the European Union, which will be realised in 2024.
The projects KEK has planned to implement are: The commandiation project in the B-1&B-2 unit, the slideboard project of the PF's interior channels at B-1&B-2 units directly linked to the furnace disposal project; Project to review integral tubes into B-1&B-2 units for converting tubes into condensator units B-1&B-2 Project to repair waves in the car room and non-reversiver of cable pumps to the B-1&B-2 Project to clean tubes inside the vault at B1&B Project for Intervention 2 BT at unit B2; The low-pressure turbine plaque project of B2 unit; Switching AQA to B-1&B-2 units, as well as changing generator bays to unit B1.
In KEK, they have not disclosed the pre-priced cost of all projects to be realised in these entities.
While in KEDs have said that average consumption from 1 May to 5 May was about 14 thousand megawatts a day.
The amount taken from KEK for the same period is 11 thousand and 130 megawatts a day. Given that temperatures during these days have also increased, there has been a decrease in consumption. Since domestic production currently does not cover the entire need for consumption, totaling 4 thousand and 76 megawatts” have been imported, it says.
Currently, an electricity megawatt in international stock exchanges costs between 100 and 200 euros. The same situation is envisioned all year round.
While KED is supplied by KEK at a price of 29 euros for megawatts.
This is expected to affect the increase in energy costs, which does not rule out the possibility of a price increase for consumers after 15 percent in early April.
