Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"The Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK sh.a.) informs the public that Unit B2, which has been in continuous operation since October 26, 2025, has successfully completed about 2,000 working hours or 82 days of continuous operation. Taking into account the continuous operational load and current technical conditions, it is necessary for this unit to undergo a technical inspection, in order to assess its condition, update operational parameters and ensure sustainable continuity of production. This technical inspection is expected to last about 48 hours, during which the professional and technical teams of KEK sh.a. have already begun the necessary interventions and verifications on the main equipment of the unit," KEK's announcement on Facebook states.
Former PDK MP Ferat Shala has reacted to the collapse of the B2 unit. According to Shala, the country's electricity system is not being managed properly and that the collapse of this KEK unit from the system occurred without any warning.
Shala said this is no longer a random event, but a consequence of poor maintenance, poor management, and a lack of institutional accountability.
