Blackout, it begins: Kosovo in the dark, but also the United Kingdom ..
The energy crisis caused by a series of wrong choices at European level is beginning to be felt, and the weakest are paying the consequences.
According to Bloomberg reports, Kosovo has introduced continuous blackouts in turn to most of its two million citizens.
On Thursday, December 23, Kosovo Energy Distribution Services (KEDS) announced two-hour power outages for two million people due to an "overload" of its electricity grid.
KEDS asked customers to reduce energy given "insufficient internal generation to cover consumption and the global energy crisis". The Balkan country, the poorest nation in Europe, had a technical problem at its largest coal-fired power plant that had to shut down last month, which forced the government to import electricity at high prices, therefore above the economic possibilities of the small region-state.
At the same time, Serbia has been forced to cut off electricity to customers, and is accused of being at the root of the Kosovo energy crisis, but this Balkan nation is also facing acritical situation. Already ten days ago there were serious supply problems , so it is useless to blame Belgrade for a crisis that originates elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the British electricity operator has issued warnings of possible blackouts due to energy shortages and bad weather, just as it was recovering from extensive service outages related to storm Arwein. A major problem that threatens to leave large parts of the UK cold.
