RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ASSESMENT ACCORDING SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS: CASE KOSOVO AND METOHIJA.

After the war 1999. Kosovo and Metohija (Kosmet) is constantly facing with electricity production and distribution problems. Also, electricity restrictions are present almost at daily basis. More than 95% electricity production on Kosmet come from one source -- thermal power plant Obilić. Pollution coming from coal burning at central Kosmet is everyday problem. On the other hand Kosmet has and some renewable energy (RE) potentials such as biomass, solar, wind and hydro. Question that arise here is why not to use RE? It would lead to sustainable development of Kosmet energetics. However, just like conventional electricity production and RE projects can have some environmental impacts. Goal of this paper is to asses renewable energy sources according sustainability indicators and to get RE priority list. For that purpose will be used analytical hierarchy process (AHP).
