After leaving Kosovo in the dark, Kurti tries to reason on reductions: Energy consumption has increased

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has declared that electricity consumption from citizens has conspicuously increased, until he has added that the transmission and distribution network is holding capacity.

He has said in an interview in KTV that the problem does not exist in energy trade, but in consumption and the old distribution network.

The household number is over 60,000 and of businesses over 8,000. There's an increase in businesses, but we have a problem that there's energy in trade, but the transmission and distribution network doesn't keep the consumption capacity. COST is the one dealing with KEDS and KEK. Transmitting distribution has capacity. At five o'clock in the morning, consumption has happened to increase. Pic is heading for 1.5 megawatts... There are 5 units totaling 900 megawatts. There's power in the market after we import, but we have no capacity for transmission and distribution that would supply citizens because the network is overextended. I can't as prime minister deal with these independent state agencies that report to the Parliament because I would be authoritarian and commit legal violations. That would be authoritarian”, Kurt said.

He has added that he will come up with a new platform for the next four years that the treatment of power supply.

Our “Synim is that early in the next decade, 30 percent of the energy is from renewable energy, but 70 percent will be coal. These are our problems, and the network is obsolete. Without it we have not even eight hours of electric power”, Kurt added.
