Kosovo*

CLUSTER INDICATORS		2023 HIGHLIGHTS AND NEXT STEPS
	Markets and integration	Opening of the day-ahead electricity market and its coupling with Albania is delayed. Kosovo* should proceed with the market coupling of Albania – Kosovo*, as well as with the adoption of the laws transposing the Electricity Integration Package.
	Decarbonising the energy sector	During the reporting period, Kosovo* submitted to the Secretariat its draft NECP and launched its inaugural solar PV auctions. Kosovo* should adopt the long-term building renovation strategy and adopt of the Renewable Energy Law in line with the acquis.
	Ensuring energy security	Significant unintentional deviations of the control area of Kosovo* and delayed payment for the costs incurred continue to represent a risk to the operational security in the synchronous area. The Law on Security of Networks and Information systems was adopted in February 2023. Kosovo* should transpose Regulation (EU) 2019/941 on Risk-preparedness in the Electricity Sector and start its implementation with the designation of a competent authority.
	Improving the environment	The implementation status in the area of environment remains at a low level. The long-standing breach of non-compliance with the National Emission Reduction Plan ceilings remains unaddressed. Emission abatement measures must be taken immediately to address this.
	Performance of authorities	By approving a set of rules governing the power exchange operation and appointing the NEMO, ERO created one of the prerequisites for further market integration in line with the Electricity Integration Package. The State Aid Commission remains inoperational due to the failure to appoint its members. The establishment of an operational State aid authority constitutes a priority.
