The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $500,000 in a new program to support regional transmission system planning in Southeast Europe with a focus on Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Serbia. Through collaborative working groups and a common integrated planning model and software platform, the program seeks to strengthen regional transmission operations and develop a framework for sound investment in the transmission system. This will help reduce energy losses, integrate renewable energy projects into the power grid, and facilitate cross-border trade in clean energy.
