Kosovo becomes a full member of the Association of Issuing Bodies - AIB

On 26 November 2025, the General Assembly of the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) was held in Lisbon, Portugal, where the request of the Energy Regulatory Office to become a full member of this Association was approved. On this occasion, ERO became a full member of AIB, as part of the European platform for Guarantees of Origin.

By joining AIB, Kosovo adopts the European Energy Certificate System (EECS), ensuring that Guarantees of Origin issued in Kosovo are recognized throughout Europe. This increases the transparency and credibility of renewable energy certification, enabling more efficient cross-border trade and paving the way for new investments in the renewable energy sector. This membership also confirms Kosovo’s commitment to the country’s energy transition path and alignment with the EU Acquis Communautaire.

The ERO delegation was represented by Mr. Ymer Fejzullahu, Chair of the ERO Board, and Ms. Lindita Daija from LuxDev Kosovo. This step follows the efforts of ERO to operationalize the platform for issuing Certificates of Origin and meetings between ERO and Swedish institutions held in early November, where ERO was closely acquainted with the management of Guarantees of Origin registries, the implementation of EECS rules and the supervision of electricity declaration.

Describing the membership as a historic achievement, Mr. Fejzullahu emphasized that this process strengthens Kosovo’s institutional capacities, increases transparency in renewable energy certification and positions Kosovo as a reliable partner in the European energy market.

This achievement was made possible with the support of LuxDev’s “Energy Transition and Climate Change Mitigation” project, funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
