The Forum
Promoting Investment in Renewable Energy
21-22 July 2022
Hotel Emerald, Prishtina
Building on the success of the inaugural Kosovo Solar Forum organized in July 2021, the Ministry of Economy with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is organizing the Kosovo Solar Forum – Promoting Investment in Renewable Energy. The Forum will highlight the favorable business environment and investment opportunities in the growing prosumer and self-consumption markets for small-scale solar power as well as upcoming large-scale solar projects in Kosovo.
2022 is a significant year for Kosovo’s renewable energy source (RES) transition as it redefines its energy future. The Kosovo Solar Forum gathers all of the leading local and international energy sector players, investors, commercial banks, RES developers and businesses, government officials, and policymakers under one roof to discuss and promote investment in small- and large-scale RES initiatives.
The Forum maintains the climate-change momentum across the energy sector, reaffirming the Government of Kosovo’s commitment to ensure progress towards meeting national RES investment and decarbonization targets. It is also an occasion to share regional perspectives on RES development across the Western Balkans.
It will also feature a Solar Trade Fair where the country's leading solar companies, commercial banks, international development agencies, and other RES players can display and market their services, and products. The fair will provide participants a tangible opportunity to explore the wide range of expertise, knowledge, and opportunities available in Kosovo to develop concrete renewable energy projects.
