Thirty companies have been recommended for support in the second round of Kosovo's Clean Energy Grant Scheme, with a total value of almost EUR 536,000, the Ministry of Economy announced on 5 November. The results were presented on 4 November at an event organised together with the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, Trade and Innovation, the investment agency KIESA and the Luxembourg development cooperation agency LuxDev.
The figures. In the first round, 91 applications were submitted and nine companies received grants of about EUR 120,000 for photovoltaic systems; five of those investments have been completed, while the rest are in implementation and monitoring. With the second round, the total reaches 39 companies and about EUR 656,000, plus co-financing provided by the firms.
What is new. For the first time, the scheme goes beyond solar installations: six companies from wood processing, food processing, construction and concrete production will invest in efficient equipment for their production lines. The scheme funds three categories: photovoltaic systems, energy efficiency measures in business buildings and efficient production equipment.
Context. According to the ministry, commercial and industrial consumers account for more than a third of Kosovo's electricity consumption. “Every panel on the roof of a business or a factory means less imported energy, less pressure on the grid at peak hours and more energy security,” said Minister of Economy Artane Rizvanolli. The scheme is funded by the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The second phase was open to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, with the application deadline extended to 9 August 2026, according to a ministry notice reported by Indeksonline.
What comes next. The ministry says these investments better prepare firms for the liberalised electricity market and contribute to Kosovo's energy transition goals.
