“SOLAR 4 KOSOVO” PROJECT

The “Solar 4 Kosovo” project is one of the largest energy projects in Kosovo. It will be one of the largest solar plants in Europe and the first in the region in terms of capacity, using clean solar energy for the benefit of heating.

By installing solar panels over an area of 69,000 square meters, two systems will be integrated: solar energy and cogeneration. This integration will enable an additional thermal capacity of 50 MW, supplying heat to 12,000 new consumers of POE “Termokos” J.S.C. The realization of this project will allow for the expansion of the heating network to include parts of the residential buildings of the “Arbëria” and “Tophane” neighborhoods.

Within the “Solar 4 Kosovo” project, the construction of a heating energy tank with a capacity of 400,000 cubic meters is planned near the solar plant.

In addition to providing quality heating for 12,000 new consumers, this project will also help reduce air pollution for the capital’s residents by eliminating the need for other heating alternatives in the operating areas.

“Solar 4 Kosovo” is considered one of the biggest investments in Pristina under the green cities initiative by the EBRD.

The “Solar 4 Kosovo” project will be financed by the German Government through the German Development Bank (KfW) with the total amount of 53.1 million euros, of which 21.5 million euros are grants and 31.6 million euros are loans, EBRD with 23.2 million euros in loans and 4.4 million euros from POE ” Termokos” J.S.C.
