The overall objective of the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project is to contribute to a sustainable economic growth by supporting innovation, inclusiveness and social development in a greener Kosovo.

The project aims to enhance the environmental sustainability of the energy sector while also driving economic growth and social progress.

The project’s specific objective is to promote and facilitate the adoption of energy efficiency (EE) practices and renewable energy (RE) sources in Kosovo’s transition to clean energy. It aims to optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and foster a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sector.

This specific objective addresses two serious challenges in the country: inefficient energy use and the low proportion of renewables in electricity generation.

The specific objective aligns with the Energy Strategy’s commitment to move to a more efficient energy consumption model and ambitious targets of achieving a total RE capacity of 1,600 MW by 2031.

To achieve the set objectives, three distinct results have been formulated:

improving the implementation of RE and EE measures through an increasing support to the ministries and other relevant institutions involved;
strengthening of the regulatory framework for RE and EE;
improving the access to financial mechanisms for small-scale RE and EE measures.
