Construction of the first solar project to be awarded under auction in Kosovo is now underway.

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.
