The major transformation of Pristina’s electricity distribution network has entered a decisive new phase. On Wednesday, the conversion of the Veterniku 1 feeder from 10 kV to 20 kV was completed, covering more than 20 substations. This marks an important step within the large-scale project to convert the Prishtina 6 and Prishtina 7 Substations and create connecting loops between them, which has now been successfully finalized.

This new loop system means that the medium-voltage network in the capital will now have alternative supply routes. In the event of a failure, consumers will not be left without electricity but will be supplied through alternative feeders. This represents an advanced standard of supply security and resilience that has so far been lacking in many parts of Pristina.

Before December, the entire southern part of Pristina is expected to be fully ready, including one of the country’s most important institutions — the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (UCCK). The main hospital of Kosovo is already protected with three alternative connections, and the conversion of its feeder from 10 kV to 20 kV was completed last weekend. This guarantees maximum stability in electricity supply, especially during peak demand situations.

This project brings a doubling of supply capacity for New Pristina, covering the entire southern area of the capital with around 20 medium-voltage feeders. The benefits are direct: a stronger, more reliable, and safer network — fully prepared to meet the city’s growing energy needs.

The conversion of the network from 10 kV to 20 kV is not merely a technical upgrade — it is a step toward alignment with European electricity distribution standards, providing Pristina not only with doubled capacity but also with a whole new level of service quality.

From Veternik — already a model of this transformation — to every neighborhood in the southern part of the capital, this project marks a historic milestone in Kosovo’s journey toward modernizing its electricity distribution system.
