- ✦(Kosovo Investment Editorial Comment:) While Kosovo's competitive energy prices are currently a great advantage for industrial investments, the fact that energy is produced largely from carbon-intensive sources (huge emissions in the NACE D sector) is a strategic risk for companies that will export to the European Union.
- ✦This will turn Kosovo from a risky situation into a great advantage for investors who produce their own renewable energy (Solar/SPP or Wind) and start product-based ESG carbon reporting early.
