1. Why is privatization necessary?

KEK Distribution and Supply is a costly and inefficient operation. Such inefficiencies, also related to poor collection, electricity theft, and obsolete infrastructure, create a large financial burden on the Kosovo Consolidated Budget.

Government subsidies for the energy sector are being reduced and are no longer sustainable. The burden on the Kosovo Budget has a negative impact.

Private sector investments in KEK Distribution and Supply will improve the infrastructure, enhance operational efficiency, collection rates, and ensure security of power supply. This is important not only for the sector under privatization, but also has a direct effect in Kosovo’s whole economic development.
