The Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) announced that Unit A4 was shut down in a controlled manner at midnight on August 11 after a hydrogen (H₂) leak was detected in the generator near bearing No. 7.

According to KEK, the shutdown was carried out as a preventive measure in line with technical safety requirements, allowing technical inspections and necessary interventions on the equipment.

Professional teams were immediately engaged to assess the unit’s condition, determine the cause of the leak, and resolve the issue.

KEK said Unit A4 will resume operation once the technical inspections and interventions are completed and safe operating conditions are confirmed.

The corporation added that the public will be informed in due course about further developments and the unit’s return to operation.
