- On the outskirts of Gjakova, a city with 40,000 inhabitants in southwestern Kosovo, the first biomass heating plant in the Balkans recently began generating heat and a limited supply of power for 2,000 private households, public institutions and businesses.
- This winter, the plant will require 10,000 tons of biomass to produce heat without interruption, enabling it to generate 15 megawatts of thermal energy and 1.5 megawatts of electricity.
- In contrast to this project, however, other new district heating networks in the country rely on existing thermal power stations, most of which are coal-fired.
