KOSOVO - Energy transition continues with the establishment of the Chamber of Engineers
Kosovo is continuing to make strides in its energy transition path by establishing the first Chamber of Engineers. This milestone for the engineering profession contributes to the sustainable development of the country's construction sector. The establishment of the Chamber was supported by the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project. The support was facilitated through the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure (MESPI) of the government of Kosovo.
This body aims to strengthen the professional framework for engineers and align Kosovo with regional and European Union standards, fostering equal opportunities and enhancing the sector’s professional integrity.
Minister of MESPI Liburn Aliu highlighted the government’s dedication to supporting the Chamber’s development. “We have been committed to ensuring this institution's establishment and will continue to provide financial support and promote continuous professional education for engineers, as defined by law,” the Minister stated.
This initiative is critical for creating a robust legal and sustainable system that prioritises public health, safety, and environmental protection, paving the way for a safer and more sustainable future for all. It will regulate the professions of engineers, contributing significantly to advancing energy efficiency practices in Kosovo.
Additionally, the new Chamber will play a key role in implementing energy performance standards for buildings, an initiative supported by the project in cooperation with the Kosovo Energy Efficiency Fund and the Ministry’s staff. By focusing on professional development and sustainability, the Chamber is poised to become a cornerstone in Kosovo's journey toward improved energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The creation of this body not only reinforces the engineering profession but also enhances Kosovo’s capacity to tackle infrastructure, safety, and sustainability challenges, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for the nation.
The project will also support the establishment of the Chamber of Architects, which will hold its founding event in the first quarter of 2025. Both Chambers are vital to modernising the energy consumption of the buildings sector, which constitutes more than one-third of the total energy consumption in the country.
The Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project aims 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.
