Energy Policy & Electricity Market Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Kosovo’s Energy Strategy 2023\u20132031<\/a> targets a 35% renewable energy share by 2031 and carbon neutrality by 2050, including 600 MW of utility-scale solar PV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operationalization of the Albanian Power Exchange<\/a> (ALPEX) in 2024 established a transparent day-ahead market platform for Kosovo’s bidding zone, providing liquid pricing and efficient market access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Price Spread Analysis: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ALPEX monthly average hourly market clearing prices reveal significant intraday, with peak prices during evening hours, while midday prices compress during high solar production periods. This pronounced intraday spread creates compelling arbitrage opportunities for BESS time-shifting strategy, while also mitigating imbalance costs and enhancing revenue stability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kosuriq Solar Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Solar Park Kosuriq, with a designed installed capacity of 107.9 MWDC<\/sub> \/ 99 MWAC<\/sub><\/strong> (acc. grid connection) and an expected annual output of 162 GWh<\/strong>, is developed as a stand-alone utility-scale solar Independent Power Producer (IPP). The project is situated in Municipality of Pej\u00eb, on land owned by the group, with Grid Connection secured and Construction Permit obtained. On 26 October 2026 the Energy Regulatory Office Board approved the Authorization for Construction. The project is now Ready-to-Build (RTB)<\/strong>, meaning no further permits are required before ground-breaking<\/strong>. The project will undergo BESS hybridization as soon as legal, \u00a0regulatory and permitting conditions allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/summary>\n

The proposed solar PV plant site is located in the western part of the Republic of Kosovo, within the Dukagjini region, Municipality of Peja, entirely within the boundaries of the Kosuriq Cadastral Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The geographic coordinates of the site are Latitude: 42\u00b035’3.83″N and Longitude: 20\u00b027’46.07″E. The site elevation ranges from a minimum of 463 meters above sea level (ASL) to a maximum of 539 meters ASL, providing favorable topographic conditions for solar PV development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kosuriq site benefits from excellent accessibility, being directly connected via the paved regional road R-121, which links to the national road M9 (Prishtina \u2013 Peja), near the town of Klina. This infrastructure ensures efficient transport of equipment, materials, and personnel during the construction and operational phases of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land Rights<\/summary>\n

The Kosuriq site property consist of 56 land parcels with total area covering 219 hectares. Land parcels are defined as Socially owned Land with 99-year private land lease agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solariss L.L.C. (the project investor) has formally secured the right to utilize the land for an initial period of 40 years, based on a Lease Agreement signed on 17 March 2023. The lease period was established to accommodate the full project lifecycle: an initial phase for development and permitting; construction; followed by a minimum of 30 years of plant operation, aligned with the expected technical lifespan of major PV system components. The project timeline also accounts for site decommissioning at the end of the operational period, along with rehabilitation and recultivation of agricultural land, in accordance with local regulatory requirements and best practices for land stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land parcels made available to Solariss LLC for solar PV plant development.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All the designated cadastral parcels intended for solar PV installation and associated infrastructure (such as internal access roads, substation, and service areas) are located entirely within the Kosuriq Cadastral Zone (Cadastral Zone Number: 71611043). The specific parcel references are: 1-1, 1-8, 1-13, 1-14, 19-10, 19-11, 2-38, 4-3, 4-5, 4-14, and 4-21, with total area of 109.8 hectares. The entire project site is situated on land classified as Class 5 Agricultural Land (see Table below), which permits renewable energy development under the applicable spatial planning framework. The selected site presents an advantageous combination of technical suitability, regulatory compatibility, and logistical accessibility, supporting the viability of large-scale PV generation with minimal competing land use or environmental conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowed Land Use<\/summary>\n

In December 2023, Municipality of Peja adopted the Municipal Zoning Map of Peja 2023\u20132031 that allow development of renewable energy projects (solar PV projects) on Kosuriq Land Parcels. This is reflected in documents obtained by Solariss LLC as part of supporting documentation for Construction Conditions \/ Permit. Based on the information provided by the Department of Urban Planning and Environmental Protection, Municipality of Peja, and in accordance with the Municipal Zoning Map of Peja 2023\u20132031, within the areas designated as concentrated agriculture, the Zoning Map permits special use, namely, the production of renewable energy (the installation of solar PV systems utilizing solar resources for electricity generation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2024, Municipality of Peja approved temporary change of land destination from agricultural land to construction land (for 40-year period) for parcels (Class 5) where Kosuriq Solar Park will be constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land conversion fee has been paid, as a precondition for Construction Permit.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Technical Design Parameters<\/summary>\n

The method and assumptions for selecting appropriate land plots for the development of a solar PV plant in Kosuriq were outlined in the previous section. Furthermore, the irradiance and weather data sourced by PVGIS 5.2 using geographical coordinates: Latitude 42\u00b035’3.83″N, Longitude: 20\u00b027’46.07″E have also been defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed solar PV system consists of 186,000 monocrystalline PV modules with a Standard Testing Conditions (STC) rating of 580 W each, mounted on fixed-tilt structures configured in a 2P (portrait) layout, with a tilt angle of 25.0\u00b0 and an azimuth of 0\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PV array configuration is arranged in the field with an 8.4 m pitch distance and the value of ground coverage ratio is GCR=49%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each string consists of 25 PV modules, connected to a total of 36 central inverters, each with an apparent power rating of 3,000 kVA. The rated power of the PV system is 96.3 MWAC (with the Grid Connection Agreement with KOSTT allowing up to 99 MWAC), while the peak power is 107.9 MWDC, resulting in a DC\/AC ratio of 1.12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AC system was designed to meet a power factor requirement at the substation output. The required power factor at the substation output is 0.95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main components considered for the design of the solar PV plant are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
