The outgoing government of Kosovo has presented a new clean energy grant scheme, aimed at supporting businesses in increasing energy efficiency and improving their competitiveness in the market. This initiative is supported by the Government of Luxembourg and includes a fund of one million euros.

According to the presented scheme, enterprises can receive up to €20,000 for a single measure, while if two measures are combined, the total grant can reach up to €25,000.

The outgoing Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, during his speech, emphasized the importance of previous investments in the private sector and the impact they have had on economic development.

Kurti stated that thanks to €100 million in subsidized investment loans for 379 enterprises and an additional €12 million for 440 businesses, doors have been opened for automatic lines, robots, and new equipment.

The outgoing Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli, highlighted the importance of institutional cooperation for the implementation of this scheme, emphasizing that it comes at an important moment for Kosovo’s energy market.

According to her, the scheme will contribute to increasing competitiveness for businesses operating in a liberalized market, reducing costs, and lowering imports.

Meanwhile, the Ambassador of Luxembourg to Pristina, Eric Dietz, praised the cooperation with local institutions and the positive impact this scheme will have on the economy and the environment.
