Abstract
We present a brief study of possible baseline energy development and available options to mitigate carbon emissions. We also discuss problems associated with them. For this purpose we developed an integrated electricity supply-demand model for the period 2010-2025 and analyzed a set of energy scenarios for Kosovo considering also “The energy strategy of the Republic of Kosovo 2009-2018”. In various scenarios the potential for growth of the renewable energy sector and its integration into the energy system of Kosovo is investigated. The analysis of various scenarios show that medium growth scenarios are the most favourable scenarios for achieving a stable and quality supply of consumers with electricity for the period 2010-2025 and for a sustainable development of the electricity sector. According to these scenarios, the portion of electricity generation from renewable sources would be 10% of the total electricity generation.
