KOSOVO - Pioneering energy transition: a new framework for monitoring and accountability
Luxembourg Cooperation is supporting Kosovo institutions to create a modern monitoring and evaluation system to guide the country’s Energy Strategy. Led by the Ministry of Economy and supported by the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project, this initiative is a bold move toward a sustainable, green energy future.
The core of this initiative is establishing a robust monitoring and evaluation system that aligns Kosovo’s regulatory framework with international standards for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The system will track key indicators over the next decades, providing transparency and enabling evidence-based decisions for ongoing improvements in the energy sector.
The activity was launched with a workshop on 28 and 29 October involving 25 representatives from state institutions and key energy players in the country. "The approach proposed and agreed upon with stakeholders focuses on establishing an monitoring and evaluation system aimed at driving change in energy efficiency and decarbonization", explained Andrea POZZA, LuxDev consultant on monitoring and evaluation.

This collaborative start fostered inter-institutional cooperation, laying a solid foundation for Kosovo's transition. The monitoring and evaluation system’s innovative digital platform will streamline data collection, aggregation, and analysis of 33 essential energy indicators, enhancing real-time decision-making.
"This system is a groundbreaking tool for our institutions to monitor the progress of key policies. It will enable all stakeholders in the energy sector involved in the Energy Strategy to track both advancements and the impact of these changes", said Besiana QORRAJ-BERISHA, National Project Coordinator from the Ministry of Economy.
"Monitoring and evaluation system is crucial for evidence-based decision making in the energy sector. This endeavor, which implies closely working with all relevant stakeholders is crucial to ensure inter-institutional cooperation as a prerequisite of having a well-functioning system. It will ensure well-aligned information flow channels to ensure reliability of data flow, and enhanced data analysis", added Artan SADIKU, LuxDev Kosovo monitoring and evaluation specialist.
With LuxDev’s expertise, the initiative focuses on local capacity-building, ensuring Kosovo’s institutions retain full ownership and operational knowledge of the monitoring and evaluation framework. This participatory approach empowers stakeholders and sets a benchmark for accountability and transparency, ultimately driving Kosovo’s green energy goals toward a resilient future.
Kosovo’s Energy Strategy from 2022 to 2031 sets the tone for a more efficient energy consumption and lays out ambitious targets to increase its renewable energy capacities from 300 MW to 1600 MW by 2031. The specific objective of the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project is to promote and facilitate the adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in Kosovo's transition to clean energy. The project is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.
