Implementation: 2017–2018
Kitka Wind Energy Park is the first wind power project in the Republic of Kosovo.
It comprises of nine General Electric turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW. The turbines are 110 m tall with a 25 m base diameter. A 60 km cable duct was built to connect the turbines to the substation, installing (N)A2XS(F)2Y 20.3/35 kV medium-voltage cables.
The project also included constructing a 20/110 kV substation with a 40 MVA transformer (ABB equipment), plus a 16 km, 110 kV transmission line to the 110/10 kV Berivojca substation, where another 110 kV incoming bay was built (also ABB equipment). Over 100 workers and experts from various fields took part in construction and testing.
The project was funded by Turkish company GURIS and fully implemented by ELECTRA. ELECTRA completed the 32.5 MW project in 12 months with remarkable success, using primarily local staff.
ELECTRA SH.P.K successfully completed the 110/35/10kV Substation Rehabilitation in Viti for KOSTT sh.a. The work included constructing the 110kV transformer foundation, transporting and installing the transformer, supplying and installing command/control panels for the transformer and transmission lines, and providing neutral partitions. After thorough testing and commissioning, the substation was fully handed over for operation.

ECO PARK–Gjakove is the first solar energy project in the Republic of Kosovo and the largest in the region. It generates 6 MW from 2,424 modules, each rated at 275 W. A Schneider medium-voltage distribution station was built as part of the park. From there to the 110/35/10 kV Gjakova 1 substation, a 20 km cable duct was constructed, installing (N)A2XS(F)2Y 1x300/25 18/30 kV cables.
The project was funded by Birra Peja and Frigo Food and implemented by ELECTRA with local staff and expertise in electrical engineering.
ELECTRA was contracted to handle the electrical installations and energy infrastructure at this wastewater treatment facility.
This project is highly significant for the Republic of Kosovo, especially for the Prizren region, as it plays a direct role in protecting local waterways and the overall environment. By effectively treating wastewater, the plant helps reduce pollution in rivers, safeguards public health, and contributes to sustainable development for the surrounding communities.
This initiative stems from a growing awareness of the need to protect the environment and natural resources in Kosovo. Proper wastewater treatment is crucial for preventing pollution and maintaining water quality. By advancing these objectives, the project has a direct impact on how wastewater is treated and managed in the Prizren region.
ELECTRA’s involvement was essential. The company has provided the necessary electrical installations to operate the wastewater treatment plant, ensuring a stable energy supply for its various processes. Additionally, ELECTRA has worked on upgrading the energy infrastructure, helping the facility run efficiently and in an environmentally responsible manner.
