Kosovo Rolls Out Daily Power Cuts as Winter Demand Strains Grid

Kosovo is imposing daily power cuts as winter demand pushes the country’s electricity system to its limits, leaving homes and businesses without power for up to two hours during peak periods of the day.

Grid operator KOSTT said electricity demand this month exceeded forecasts by roughly 26%, creating hourly imbalances averaging more than 200 megawatts and peaking above 260 megawatts.
