In a recent article, the US-based magazine Power Engineering International wrote that Kosovo is in urgent need of replacing the old Kosova A power plant that causes a high level of pollution with a new plant that would also eliminate ongoing energy problems. Kosovo government has expressed confidence that the New Kosovo coal-fired power plant will win final approval for funding from the World Bank. “The proposed $1.1bn modern clean coal facility is earmarked to replace an older, more polluting model of plant,” the report says adding that the World Bank and other development banks have limited international finance for new coal power to exceptional circumstances – so rare that Kosovo’s is the only coal plant being considered for World Bank support anywhere in the world.
