The European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) said on
Monday it is considering providing a corporate
loan of up to 28 million euro ($38.4 million) to
Kosovo’s transmission, system and market
operator, KOSTT, to finance the upgrade of
selected substations and transformers and the
strengthening the grid at the 110-kilovolt
level.
"The project will assist KOSTT in achieving
compliance with the N-1 electricity transmission
grid security criteria, a key technical
requirement of the European Network of
Transmission System Operators for Electricity,”
the EBRD said in a statement on its website.
The total cost of the project is seen at up to
36 million euro.
The N-1 criterion is a rule according to which
elements remaining in operation after failure of
a single network element - such as transmission
line, transformer or generating unit, or in
certain instances a busbar - must be capable of
accommodating the change of flows in the network
caused by that single failure.
