Kosovo has suspended planned blackouts to deal with the energy crisis, as power producers in neighboring Albania offered to provide much-needed energy supplies for the breakaway Serbian province to meet its needs.
Albania’s KESH provided assistance to Kosovo’s Kosovo Energy Corp. (KEK), allowing Kosovo authorities not to go ahead with consumption cuts that were scheduled to begin Monday afternoon, the Kosovar Economy Ministry said.
“Our various organizations will continue to make maximum efforts to maintain electricity supplies at normal levels in the coming days,” the ministry said, according to Bloomberg.
However, he called on citizens and businesses to show maximum self-restraint in the next period in the use of electricity.
Landlocked and one of the poorest provinces in Europe, Kosovo relies mainly on coal-fired power plants to generate electricity, but its aging plants are unable to keep up with demand. Utilities had announced on Monday that they would begin two-hour supply interruptions as they are unable to cover the cost of imports.
