The government of Kosovo will build a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 200MWh-plus to deal with the energy crisis.
Installing a 340 MWh battery storage facility in Kosovo will positively impact the country's energy sector by reducing the country's dependence on imported electricity, including increased energy security, integration of renewable energy, improved grid stability, reduced energy costs, and environmental benefits.
The system will stabilize the fluctuating frequency of electricity, store energy in the early hours of the morning when consumption is low, and connect with solar, wind, or similar power plants. Kosovo* will own the facilities, the ministry added.
On the other hand, Neshati noted that “The Energy Storage Project is the largest energy project in Kosovo in decades and the most significant Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Europe (MW per capita). “.

By implementing the largest BESS installation in the region, Kosovo will become a leader in the field, surpassing other countries in the area and beyond. The project, co-funded by the Government of Kosovo and MCC, aims to build a 340 MWh BESS installation by 2027. The project is expected to bring significant benefits to the energy sector in Kosovo.
