Efficiency for Development: Economics of Energy Efficiency in Kosovo
Publisher: Istitute for Development Policy (INDEP)
Volume: 19 pages, pdf
Description
As a country in transition, Kosovo is facing a growing demand for energy sources and this is partially a result of low efficiency level, enormous rate of energy loss and stealing, and undesired position visa-vis ecological transition. Now, when we have targeted European Union (EU) integration, Kosovo is mainly passive being fully convinced that international partners are drafting development plans, and all that remains to be done is to agree with, finance and implement those plans or projects. As such, the Kosovo Government has significantly stagnated with fulfilment of criteria set by the EU, and with recent developments by creating a monopoly in energy distribution, the Government has created an undesirable and very chaotic situation that directly threatens welfare of every citizen, especially those who are already influenced by extreme poverty.
