100 MW WIND AUCTION

Following the successful completion of Kosovo’s first-ever 100 megawatt (MW) competitive solar auction, the Ministry of Economy will undertake the country’s first competitive wind
project auction for a total capacity of 100 MW. This auction will lead to the award of a Support Contract with a guaranteed price for 100 MW generated from wind energy. This wind auction marks a significant step forward toward increasing the share of renewable energy in Kosovo’s energy mix, promoting sustainability, and reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
