Kosovo-US, joint energy cooperation group established

The Ministry of Economy hosted the inaugural meeting of the Working Group for Cooperation in the Energy Sector between Kosovo and the United States of America. This mechanism includes political and technical representatives from the Ministry of Economy, KEK and KOSTT, together with representatives of the US Embassy in Kosovo and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).

The group’s objective is to advance cooperation in the areas of energy security and ensuring affordable energy. Through the sharing of data and professional experience, the parties will analyze alternatives that align with their common interests and the requirements of Kosovo’s energy sector.

The formation of this group comes as part of the established Kosovo-US partnership in the energy sector. This cooperation has included the establishment of the Albanian Electricity Exchange, ALPEX, the drafting of the Energy Strategy, the organization of the first solar auction, and investment in energy storage batteries through the Compact Program with MCC, among other initiatives.

During the meeting, both sides confirmed their willingness to deepen the partnership and find concrete forms of cooperation, with the aim of building a safer and more sustainable energy system.
