LDK Deputy Hykmete Bajrami has renewed her criticism of the current government’s handling of the nation’s energy sector, particularly concerning the establishment of the Energy Storage Corporation (KRE). In a recent statement, Bajrami questioned the efficacy of the body, noting that while KRE was established on March 13, 2024, to manage energy storage capacities, Kosovo reportedly lacks these necessary facilities. Bajrami highlighted the substantial financial burden placed on the country through electricity imports.
She pointed to the cumulative cost of imported electrical energy, stating that over 538 million euros have been imported since the period began. She provided a breakdown of these expenditures: 142 million euros in 2024, 259 million euros in 2025, and an additional 137 million euros for the period of January through August 2026. The remarks suggest a significant disconnect between the government’s policy goals and the actual infrastructural reality on the ground.
The implication, as voiced by Bajrami, is that the current approach to energy management is failing to secure domestic supply, leading to high import costs. Her criticism suggests that the establishment of KRE, despite its stated purpose, has not translated into tangible energy resilience for Kosovo. The continued reliance on external sources, as evidenced by the massive import figures, forms the core of her critique regarding the state of the national energy grid.
