  1. Kosovo Lignite Exploitation Opportunities Commercialization Development Plan

  2. Kosovo Lignite • Coal Reserves • Current reserves - 14.3bill tons of coal or 2.3 bill tons petroleum • Quality • 6.28-9.21 MJ/kg • Ash content 9.84–21.32 % • Moisture content of 38–48 % • Sulphur 0.64–1.51 % • Overburden to coal ratio vary 1 to 1 – 1.7 to 1 (1.7 cubic meters of overburden to 1 ton of lignite) • Current mining operations (type of mines) • Two main mines (Bardh and Mirash mine) • 50 million tons/year total current capability

  3. Kosovo Electricity Production • Coal fired power stations • Kosovo A 1960s • Max. 330MW • Kosovo B 1980s • Max. 500MW

  4. Market Summary • Domestic Target Market • Country needs 650-700 MW • Currently if countries power plant is working at full capacity it can produce at best 500MW • Still need of 150-200MW • International Target Market • Countries that depend on import of their energy and are in proximity of Kosovo • Greece will need extra 500MW per year by 2015 • Italy needs extra 1.2TW

  5. The Opportunity Electricity Production Exporting Coal Using existent power plant 500 MW/year Power Plant (Kosovo B) Railway option Building a new Power Plant (Double Cycle) 830GWh/year • Costs • Repair and Running costs • € 39.72mil • Electricity prices (2002 - EU) • € 5.45/100kW/h • Costs • Repair and Running costs • € 1.014bil • Coal prices (2002-EU) • € 67/metric tone • Costs • Building Cost • € 93.83mil • Running Cost • € 31.94 bill • Electricity Prices • €5.45/100kW/h ROI = 4.45% After first year of full production ROI = .0013% After first year of full production and export ROI = .014% After first year of full production

  6. Risks • Kosovo’s political instability • Plant building and maintenance resource allocation/imports constraints • Inability to reach enough investors • Competition outbids/outperforms us

  7. Goals & Objectives • Further research into electricity production options for Kosovo • Arouse interest in Kosovo electricity production potential • Create and improve Kosovo-Europe countries business relationships through electricity business propositions

  8. Conclusion • Electricity best opportunity for Kosovo lignite reserves • Long term investment into building new power plant with double cycle technology best option • Privatization of KEK in the future crucial to project success
