Energy Situation
Production of electricity is monopoly of Kosovo Energy Company (KEK) Main energy sources
Hydroelectric Stations
Gazivoda
Gazivoda (2 units)

Energy Reserves
Coal/Lignite reserves
Uranium Reserves
Coal Reserves
Mirash mine
Good
East West side mines working surface area of around 30 km2 1500 employees Main supplier to Kosovo A power plant Present reserve of 4 million tones/expandable to 35 mil tones once rehabilitated Main machines in good condition
Needs
Unstable due to lack of preservation Ancillary plant to cover numerous support operations Machines & belts need to be repositioned (time consuming) Machines req.
bulldozers, pipe layers, side cranes, front loaders and small excavators
Coal Reserves
Mine Bardh
Good
working surface area of 4.5 km2 2512 employees main supplier to Kosovo B plant new equipment from Holland and Germany arrived Present reserve of 35 mil tones
Needs
neglect over last 10 years has caused loss of conveyor belts due to slippage angle of mining needs to be changed (time consuming) more new machinery and parts for the old ones Ancillary plant to cover numerous support operations new access routes
Coal Production
Improvement of overburden removal process at both mines Install better conveyor belts Better machinery Together have around 70 million tons current capability Overall there is around 11 billion tons of coal varying quality
Ancillary Plants
Need because
New 8 ancillary machines have been delivered to both mines Still need more machines at aprox. cost of 7 million
Overland Transport
Use of rubber conveyor belts Needs fixing up
Mirash
6km Conveyor Belt

Coal Quality
Low quality lignite Quality ranges from 6500 kg/kJ - 8500 kg/kJ Ash content is 25% Moisture content is 50% Sulfur Content under 1% Overburden to coal ratio vary 1 to 1 - 3 to 1
(3 cubic meters of overburden to 1 ton of lignite) Heat base cost for Kosovo lignite is $ 1.3/GJ compare to $2/ton of coal that Western Europe pays to import
Mine Bardh
25,000,000 EURO
Mine Mirash
40,000,000 EURO
Total spending of 100,000,000 EURO on mine repair Total estimated cost for all damages to the KES
311,000,000 EURO
Transportation
Roads
Mirash mine road is 68,10 km Bardh mine road is 59,50 km Reconstruction of mine roads started in 2001 Overall roads need improvement if export is to be made this way
Good shape Would need access to the mines Connected to the neighborhood countries
Railroads
Export Possibilities
Good
EU imported approx 154-mil mt of coal in 2000 (80% of its fuel) Higher oil prices Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania depend on import for their energy needs Consumption at 243-mil MT last year Gasification
Europe sees coal as dirty inefficient energy source Green revolution
