Kosovo continues to face high dependence on electricity import, registering a significant deficit in the sector trade.
According to Kosovo Customs data, during January-October 2026, the country imported electricity worth about 205.3m euros, while exports reached about 83.7m euros.
The gap between import and export amounts to approximately 121m euros, testifying Kosovo’s dependence on electricity supply from foreign markets.
Northern Macedonia was the country from Kosovo imported mostly during the January 2026 period.
Out of the total 205.3m euros of imported electricity, about 86.8m euros came from Northern Macedonia. In the second place is Albania, with around 69.5m euros, while around 22.2m euros were imported from Montenegro, Telegrafi writes.
Following Switzerland at 13.6m euros, Greece with 4.5m euros, Denmark with 3.9m euros and Bulgaria with 3.2m euros, etc., etc.

And from Serbia the value of electricity imported for the January-October 2026 period has been exactly around 712 thousand euros.
While in terms of electricity exports, most have been exported to countries in the region.
Albania dominates 59.53m euros, North Macedonia 16.76m euros, Montenegro 3.55m euros, Switzerland 2.63m euros, Greece 560m euros, Serbia 509 thousand euros, Denmark 112 thousand euros, and Slovenia 48 thousand euros.
This situation reflects the challenges facing the energy sector in the country, especially in relation to the coverage of demand through domestic production.
Import dependence remains one of the main issues for Kosovo energy security, while increasing local production capacities are seen as one of the key factors for reducing this deficit. /Telegraphy/
