Developing a resilient critical energy infrastructure in Kosovo
Furthermore, Kosovo''s energy system also is prone to losses in the distribution sys-tem, lack of energy reserves, storage, and an open energy market. Kosovo energy stakeholders grasp energy security in terms of energy security of supply, having enough energy to produce, and liquidity without relying on imports.
Increasing variable renewables in coal-based energy systems
In both residential and commercial sectors, a significant share of final energy use takes the form of heat used for space heating and hot water purposes. According to (National Building Energy Efficiency Study for Kosovo, n.d.), 69.1 % of final energy consumption in residential buildings is used for space heating and 7.74 % for water heating.
Electrical energy in Kosovo
The electricity sector of Kosovo relies on coal-fired power plants (92% as of 2023) [2] and is considered one of the sectors with the greatest potential of development. The inherited issues after the war in Kosovo and the transition period have had an immense effect on the progress of this sector. Regulation of activities in energy sector in Kosovo is a responsibility of the Energy

Energy Efficiency in Kosovo
Investing in energy efficiency in public buildings can save the public budget some €18 million every year. Energy efficiency also helps Kosovo enhance energy security by reducing seasonal energy imports, create local jobs, reduce local and global pollution and help meet the commitments under the EU''s Energy Community Treaty.
