On the occasion, Minister Pula and Mr. Çitaku called upon consumers to pay for their electricity bills. “This is a good endeavor, as it creates stability for the distribution network and for a better supply of electricity to consumers. The most advanced technology is installed, while we remain committed to installing similar facilities elsewhere in Kosovo as well”, said Minister of Energy and Mines, Justina Shiroka – Pula.

Otherwise, the 20 kV alcoves installed in Klina allow for the possibility of distance command.
