The main policymaking document in the energy sector in Kosovo is the Energy Strat-egy (hereafter: the Strategy). The Strategy is drafted by the Ministry of Economy, covers a period of ten years and has to identify the main challenges that the sector faces and outline the policies to develop the sector.
Security of elec-tricity supply depends on a fleet of aged coal-fired power plants built between the 1960s and 1980s owned and operated by the Kosovo Energy Corporation, one of the bigest public enterprises in the country. The uptake of renewables has been slow with a limited number of support mea-sures in the last decade.
In Kosovo’s case, the use of pumped hydro storage could potentially be feasible, but given the range of flexibility options available, it should not be considered necessary to achieving Kosovo’s overall energy transition objectives.
The fact that Kosovo is at an early stage of its ener-gy transition means that it is still possible to ensure that the main policies and inter-ventions can be just and equitable to all groups.
In Kosovo, there is a consensus that the only path for the energy sector in the country is toward decarbonization. Politi-cal parties that are not part of the Govern-ment criticized the Strategy for not being sufficiently ambitious or comprehensive, without questioning the overall policy direction it promotes.
As such, batteries can be an important complement to a power system dominated by variable renewables; however, as the graph above shows, battery storage may not necessarily be the lowest cost option in Kosovo's context, particularly if greater access to supply from neighboring jurisdictions can be secured through expanded grid interconnection.
