TIRANA TIMES
TIRANA, May 3 – Albania and Kosovo have agreed to further share electricity with each other whenever one side faces supply difficulties, a further move toward the unification of the two energy systems, officials announced last week.
The heads of the two energy corporations, KEK and KESH, signed an agreement last Friday that further defines how the two countries share electricity with each-other.
Arben Gjukaj, KEK’s chief executive, said the idea behind the agreement is for both systems to work as one.
“Kosovo and Albania have offered lower cost imports to each other,” he said, adding that aids in a stable supply with a lower cost for customers.
“This agreement has brought improvements in the relationship between KEK and KESH, has led to improved economic indicators and more income in the finances of both our countries and the cooperation started this deal singed a year ago,” said Muharrem Stojku, KESH’s chief executive.
Kosovo has received significant amounts of energy in recent months due to record production by KESH as a result of high rainfall.
Cooperation between corporations has brought benefits to both sides, officials said.
