🇺🇸 is a key partner in building 🇽🇰's efficient, clean & independent energy sector. Today we celebrate one of the results of this cooperation w/ @MCCgov in ⚡️efficiency, as we embark on a new & exciting joint investment in the biggest energy project in 🇽🇰 in the last 4 decades!

We were happy to host Minister Rizvanolli, @USEmbPristina, @MCC_CEO & @perparim_rama as they joined our teams led by CEO @petrit & @solmstea. Great cooperation on energy efficiency between local and central government - and 🇽🇰 and 🇺🇸.

'Today, as we end one chapter and begin another, I want to thank everyone whose leadership and commitment made this program a success. Congratulations to the Kosovo people and our partners on their years of hard work to make this day a reality' @solmstea @MCCgov CD for Kosovo.

Looking forward to partnering with the Government of #Kosovo to transform its energy sector. Special thanks to @susanmccue and @SecJohanns, for serving on our board. We are forever grateful for your contributions to helping @MCCgov advance #economicgrowth.

“#GROW will help kickstart green generation and help businesses to take control of their own energy costs through self-generation and energy efficiency investments, improving resilience current and future global shocks.” @solmstea @MCCgov Country Director at GROW launch.

"Findings, experience, and learning from this intervention should help #Kosovo institutions & other donors shape the future activities towards increasing the energy #efficiency in the residential sector & create sustainable models of change." @solmstea at #SEEK Donor Conference

.@MCCgov @APMandaville kicks off her Kosovo visit w/ #PrishtinaHeatSave. Together w/ @perparim_rama @solmstea @Petrit & #Termokos CEO, they visited an apartment to take a closer look at the current heating system while also witnessing the new metering system being installed.

Reminds me when I was held at gunpoint in Frankfurt airport while they made sure my breast pump was not a bomb (on such long flights, I had to pump on the flight). And then when they finally cleared it, the one gun-toting guard said "maybe next time just use formula."

#MFK has paused the 3rd iteration of #SEEK, due to the large number of applications for subsidies. Meanwhile, works are ongoing for energy efficient retrofit of beneficiary households, with special focus on those in the social assistance scheme. Follow us for updates⚡️

Whole thread full of gems. It also reminds me of when I was going into my hotel room in Mongolia & a man in a room I passed handed me his pile of laundry & asked "can I give you this?" I said "you can, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it." He grabbed it back, horrified.

Still, pretty much how I felt taking stat mech. (Sorry Prof. Saeta...)

⚡️100 women have become part of the #energy sector in #Kosovo, and nearly 100 more to join in #2022, through #WomeninEnergy Program. ✨Cheers to a new year, new beginnings & a new generation of #WomeninEnergy Keep following us on social media for updates! https://t.co/8gUVieluWE

✨Check out our #AirQuality Documentary launched earlier during #EraDimën. It covers a day spent with program partners, beneficiaries & #climate activists who described the ways in which #MFK has helped their environmental efforts. https://t.co/6ngCQkvp5C

“We’re restricting mining in America to acquire these critical minerals that we need for renewables, but you don’t like getting them from China or the Congo...I have to say you can’t have your cake and eat it, too." https://t.co/zdLOPx2XOi @justcalma

Our foundation is supporting Kosovo Credit Guarantee Fund to open a window of special bank guarantees for investments in #renewables & #energyefficiency, helping Kosovo economy recover in a greener, better & more sustainable way @MCCgov #climatechange #TogetherForOurPlanet #COP26

Proud of the impact this little pilot program is making.

#WomeninEnergy INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE AGAIN⚡️Positions are now opened in different municipalities including #Istog #Suhareke & #Vushtrri among others, hence we encourage girls & women from all around #Kosovo to apply. CHECK OUT THE LINK👇🏼 for details: https://t.co/vXDfJes0vf

#DigData-a small activity with big impact, which we have gotten a lot of engagement from, & hopefully it will bridge the gap in Government’s trust toward civil society and the other way around-@MCCgov Country Director @solmstea during her opening remarks at the workshop

Over 20 houses across #Kosovo have been retrofitted so far w/ #efficiency measures. Dozens more are in the process of undergoing efficiency investments through #SEEK, supported by @MCCgov. This house in #Mitrovica is now more comfortable, efficient & healthier for the environment

A great graphic for global mood. #cancelcoal
