From subsidized loss to sustainable service
Key issues to be addressed (1): Government objectives in
privatization
Key issues to be addressed (2): Investor objectives in
privatization
Key issues to be addressed (3): Consumer objectives in
privatization
Turnaround of KEDS meets the key objectives
of all stakeholder involved
Philosophy of turnaround• No free ride: Investor needs to work hard to make a return through
reduction of losses and improvement of overall performance, especially during first years.
• Share the pie: Results achieved by private investor benefit ALL customers and stakeholders in Kosovo via lower GHG emissions, reduced losses and (cross-)subsidies.
• Retain control: Public sector remains in control over investor performance, fulfillment of public service obligations and returns via tariff methodology.
KEDS: Why “privatization”?
• To reduce GHG emissions induced by technical losses• To reduce energy procurements costs passed through to consumers • To gradually eliminate government subsidies, financing the above
losses• To increase service quality to customers• To create a sustainable, financially viable company able to serve the
public
Situation prior privatization• Distribution and Supply is a loss making business• Collection losses are at 9 percent • Distribution losses are at 37 percent• Average investment (2010-2012) is EUR 12.1 mil• High costs of import around 77 EURO per MWh
Expected situation post privatization
• Collection losses to tariff are reduced to 5 percent • Real collection losses around 1 percent (estimate for the model)• Distribution losses are reduced to tariff by 9 percent within first 3
years• Average investment within the first two years is around EUR 17 mil• Costs of imports down to 53 EURO per MWh (reduction by more
than 30%)
