KOSOVO - Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project presented to stakeholders
The new Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project, organised a meeting with stakeholders on 9 February to present its objectives for all main beneficiaries, including the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure, and the Kosovo Energy Efficiency Fund.
The Project Manager, Mr. Christian Kirilov, provided a comprehensive overview of each planned task and activity within the project scope. The main results, which support the Energy Strategy of the Republic of Kosovo, include:
- improving the implementation of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures through increased support to the ministries and other relevant institutions involved.
- strengthening the regulatory framework for renewable energies and energy efficiency; and
- improving access to financial mechanisms for small-scale renewable energies and energy efficiency measures.
The meeting also served as a coordination point for the planned support to municipalities, as well as to identify areas for capacity building amongst beneficiaries. In the next steps, the project will initiate the establishment of focused working groups for renewable energy and energy efficiency to improve the regulatory environment, support the capacity development of relevant institutions and provide needed technical assistance and expertise.
In conclusion, the meeting reached with a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder and a commitment to collaborative efforts in achieving the project's objectives.
The Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency. Its overarching objective is to contribute to sustainable economic growth by supporting innovation, inclusiveness and social development in a greener Kosovo.
