Kosovo is on the verge of an energy collapse with its power corporation holding only two-weeks worth of coal reserves. Kosovo has more than 14 billion tonnes of proven lignite reserves, the fifth largest in the world. But it has been forced to burn up coal reserves to feed its two creaking power plants. "We will work at full capacity just for another two weeks," KEK's CEO Arben Gjukaj told Reuters. If a solution to the energy crisis is not found, the freezing winter will hit the country of 1.8 million people hard.
