Kosovo's govt. plans to build a new thermo plant with a capacity of 2,100 MW, though experts in Priština say the province doesn’t require such high capacities.
I can comment on this with strong resentment. 3.5bn euros this is such a fraud people trust me. 1bn USd u can have a coal gasification plant trust me and this is a process to remove all the polutants out. this is such a fraud by Thaqi
I work for Simens as a Account manager for sales of power plants for that price u can bult 3 plants trust me.
This is great news,the resurces are there why not?as far as where to sell it,I'm sure there will be enough buyers in europe and balcan including Albaniaor maybe Serbia,I'm sure Kosova wouldn't have any problem with that.
By the way the IMF itsn't stupid to lend them money if they thought that it would be bad managed or if it wasn't necesary to build one.

> What is there to object? Kosova has been suffering from power shortages for some time and building a power plant of this size is a safest way of addressing the issue.
Leaving aside the issues of whether this plant ever gets off the ground & the issues of corruption (both domestic & international), main issue is cost. Would've thought Kosovo has higher priorities than surplus electricity capacity.
> Based on immeasurable coal reserves, thermal plant presents the best solution forward. That combined with clean coal technology that’s now available, would enable Kosova to become a power hub in Balkans.
Commercial clean coal technology is NOT currently available 'village-bey', nor will it be for at least 15 years - that is if 'carbon sequestration' is ever proven to be viable on a large enough scale.
"Economic viability of Kosova cannot be achieved by being dependant on any of the Balkan states, including Albania."
I beg to differ. Kosova and Albania can complement each other quite nicely if they integrate their energy policies. Kosova has huge amounts of coal for thermal power plants while Albania has hydropower resources (it currently uses only 40% of the potential, mainly along the Drin river cascade, while Shkumbin and Vjosa resources are basically untapped), in addition to oil and gas reserves. Given the relief and geographical latitude both can benefit from the development of wind and solar generated energy. Presently they implement a basic scheme, where KESH stores excess energy in the winter with KEK, and KEK returns that during dryer summer season, plus exports as needed. But a more integrated system - with possibly merging both KESH and KEK into a single corporation to manage both countries' resources - can smooth out many problems and plan the production more effectively all year around, plus eliminate much waste, especially with the current transmission system.
In any case, I don't think the planned capacity of "New Kosova" plant is excessive at all. With the present demand maybe, but as the economy and industrial production picks up, both in Albania and Kosova, the demand for energy will certainly multiply rapidly. When you plan for the future, you must leave room for growth.
"Experts claim that the construction of a new plant would be profitable and beneficial only for investors." I would also add a few people at the top in terms of kickbacks from those investors.
I think that says it all about the motivation of this type of project. Personal interest before the publics, maybe Thaci should be elected to the American senate. Sounds like he would fit right in.
So there will be funding / loan from the World Bank of 3.5 bn €? Lets see 1.5 bn € to build it – the rest goes in bribes, women, drugs and of course the bank accounts of various politicians in Pristina. They really could teach our Gordon McBafoon and all of our MPs how to properly milk the system!! But – if it ever does get built ensure you invite the Serbs to run it cos experience shows the Albanians can’t do it.
“Experts say, however, that Kosovo does not require such a facility, rather the extension of the Kosovo B plant. Experts claim that the construction of a new plant would be profitable and beneficial only for investors. While experts in Priština have welcomed the World Bank loan, they argue that the plant’s large capacities would be harmful to the environment, owing to the excessive volume of carbon dioxide produced”.
The ideal answer to Kosova’s trade deficit would be a large-scale export of this huge surplus of experts that Kosova has at her disposal. What is there to object? Kosova has been suffering from power shortages for some time and building a power plant of this size is a safest way of addressing the issue. Based on immeasurable coal reserves, thermal plant presents the best solution forward. That combined with clean coal technology that’s now available, would enable Kosova to become a power hub in Balkans. Economic viability of Kosova cannot be achieved by being dependant on any of the Balkan states, including Albania.
Don't you know what this people have already promissed?
B92 should know what albanian politicians say is not worth beeing reported. ..recognitions from islamic countries, Russia, Israel,.. big investments in Stimje,.. highest skyscrapers in Pristina,..Power-stations Lepenec.., multiethnik Kosovo...
