EPS Elektrokosmet is a Serbian state-owned transmission system operator company for electricity with the headquarters in Pristina, Kosovo. It is specialized in the transmission of electrical power.
History
EPS Elektrokosmet was founded by Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) on 27 December 1989.
Following the Kosovo War and NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the UNMIK administration was established in Kosovo on 1 July 1999, and Elektroprivreda Srbije lost its access to the local coal mines and power plants, including Kosovo A and Kosovo B power plants, which were under jurisdiction of EPS Elektrokosmet.[4]
Since then, government-owned Elektroprivreda Srbija by political decision continued to pay off earnings to all of Kosovo-based EPS companies, including EPS Elektrokosmet employees (the other two EPS companies based on Kosovo are EPS Surface Mining Kosovo and EPS TPP Kosovo).[5]
