 ==Energy Situation==
 In the year 2022, the primary source of energy in Kosovo, as reflected in the country's total energy supply, was coal, accounting for 59% of the total. This was followed by oil, which constituted 29% of the total energy supply. Coal accounted for 91% of electricity generation, with the remaining 9% derived from renewable energy sources, predominantly wind energy.<ref>[https://www.iea.org/countries/kosovo IEA Country Overview Kosovo]</ref>
 Kosovo has been working on diversifying its energy mix and increasing the share of renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on conventional fossil fuels. Factors such as government policies, international collaborations, and economic considerations play a significant role in shaping the progress of renewable energy deployment in any country.<div class="grid stretch-items">
