History

Kosovo B Power Station was opened in 1983. It was operated by EPS Surface Mining Kosovo and EPS TPP Kosovo until the end of Kosovo War. After UNMIK administration was established in Kosovo on 1 July 1999, Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) lost its access to the local coal mines and power plants, including Kosovo A and Kosovo B power plants.[1]

Since then, it is operated by Kosovo Energy Corporation (Albanian: Korporata Energjetike e Kosovës (KEK)).

It’s the second most polluting Power Plant in the Kosovo after the Kosovo A Power Plant.
