The New Kosovo Power Plant. At What Generation Capacity will the Benefits Outweigh the Cost

      Аннотация: The following research will examine the generation capacities at which the benefits of the new lignite-based Power Plant in Kosovo will outweigh the cost. As this is a truly complex situation, the research will look at the current energy situation, the demand trend, the assessment for new generation capacities, as well as externalities, including the effects on the environment and socio-economic matters. The research considers a Cost-Benefit approach, as a way that may best weigh positive and negative aspects of, perhaps, the most important capital investment project in Kosovo to date. It will then continue to provide policy recommendations after having analyzed the possible and realistic scenarios.
