ContourGlobal: Kosova e Re ‘will not proceed’

The company contracted by the Kosovo Government to build the coal-fired power plant Kosova e Re, ContourGlobal, announced that it has suspended plans to go ahead with the project, citing the “political situation” in Kosovo as the reason for its cancellation.

Foreign financing for Kosova e Re unlawful, says KOSID

A US government agency expected to provide financial support to the Kosova e Re power plant construction project was warned by Kosovo civil society organizations of the myriad of legal violations involved in a letter published on Thursday. 

Kosova e Re will impoverish Kosovo citizens

Kosovo’s new power plant will cause the average price of electricity to skyrocket, and in the face of both cheaper and safer options, will willfully cost the Kosovo taxpayer billions over the next twenty years.

Gap between Kosovo and EU energy policy widening, say experts

Environmental experts, including the director of the EU’s Energy Community, Janez Kopac, warn Kosovo of the dangers of its continued reliance on coal and the economic, health, and political repercussions this will have for its citizens.

A deadly trade

Though air pollution results in more and more deaths, Kosovars continue to illegally excavate, sell, and burn coal.
