Consultative workshop held to shape Clean Energy Grant Scheme for Kosovo businesses

A consultative workshop on the design of the Clean Energy Grant Scheme was held on this 17 April 2025 in Pristina. The event was organised by LuxDev, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and the Kosovo Investment and Enterprise Support Agency from the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, and Trade.

The workshop gathered representatives from responsible institutions involved in developing the grant scheme alongside private sector participants. Businesses that have previously benefited from grant schemes shared valuable feedback and lessons learned, contributing to the improvement of the upcoming call for applications.

The Clean Energy Grant Scheme aims to support Kosovo’s small and medium-sized enterprises in adopting renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures. The financial support is currently being defined and remains in the design phase, shaped by input and needs identified by the private sector. The scheme is intended to help businesses reduce operational costs, promote sustainability, and strengthen their competitiveness.

Participants engaged in focused group discussions to provide recommendations on the scheme’s structure, eligibility criteria, and evaluation process. Their insights will help ensure the scheme responds to market needs and supports Kosovo’s energy transition.

This initiative is aligned with Kosovo’s National Strategy for Energy and seeks to promote a greener economy, improve business competitiveness, and encourage the participation of disadvantaged groups.

The workshop concluded with a commitment to finalise the scheme based on stakeholder input and to launch the application process in the coming months.

This activity was hosted by the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project which aims to promote and facilitate the adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency sources in Kosovo's transition to clean energy. 

The project is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by the Ministry of Economy and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.
