A groundbreaking ceremony has taken place for a 105 MW solar project in Kosovo.
The project will be built in Kramovik, within the Rahovec municipality of western Kosovo. It was awarded in Kosovo’s first solar auction to a consortia led by Swiss construction group Orllati in April 2024 from a shortlisted six bidders.
The winning group, which also included Kosovan solar company Jaha, Swiss energy company Holdigaz and German developer ZPV, placed a bid of €0.0488 ($0.056)/kWh.
The consortia have since set up a special purpose vehicle, Lindja Solar, which is responsible for the construction of the project.
Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony, Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, said the auction model will be replicated for future projects.
The site is Kosovo’s largest solar project currently under construction. According to figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the country’s operational solar capacity reached 21 MW by the end of last year, up 1 MW on the year prior.
The largest solar project under development in Kosovo is a 130 MW site. Lindja Solar signed a turnkey construction agreement with Turkish energy infrastructure company YEO for the project earlier this month.
According to a social media post published by YEO, it will take responsibility for the entire project, from engineering and design to the procurement of all equipment and materials, construction and installation, testing and commissioning.
