“Today, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Greek Government signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOU) to improve energy security in the Western Balkans. This partnership will promote synergy between energy operators and authorities in Greece, Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo to integrate electricity markets, to create a more connected and secure region”.

“This collaboration is part of a larger USAID initiative, the US-Europe Energy Bridge, towards more reliable, affordable energy for businesses and consumers; and promotes integration in regional and global energy markets” it emphasizes.
