The statement highlights the significance of diversification of electricity sources and adds the institution was represented by its head Ilir Shala. Director Enver Cacaj signed the contract on behalf of the developer of the 46 MW facility.
The transmission system operator added Budakova wind power plant would be connected to the 110 kV voltage grid.
Early estimates placed annual output at up to 130 GWh. The Energy Regulatory Office or ERO has issued a preliminary authorization last year for the installation of wind farm Budakova 1, designed for 11 MW.
Of note, Enlight Renewable Energy just secured half of the total required financing for its 105 MW Bajgora wind park in the municipality of Mitrovica. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided the backing in the form of a credit facility for what will be the biggest domestic facility of its kind.
A recently published study by the World Bank revealed the most affordable strategy for decision makers in Prishtina would be to phase out coal-fueled power production and lean on smaller facilities and renewable energy and efficiency, instead of building another thermal power plant to burn lignite.
