Statkraft starts the study for the new 1200 MW HPP in Devoll
MARCH 1, 2024

The Norwegian giant Statkraft announced the launch of the study for the 1200 mega hydropower plant project with pumping system, which it intends to build in Albania. Currently, the company operates two hydropower plants in our country, Banja and Moglica.

The parent company has today published its financial results on the Stock Exchange, where it reported for 2023 the second best financial result in its history. After the record prices on the stock exchanges in 2022, last year the company also managed to generate a net profit after taxes of 2.2 billion euros.

Among other things, in the announcement to all shareholders, the Norwegians highlight as one of the most important news of the last quarter, the launch of the pre-feasibility study for a pumped storage plant of 1,200 Me.

At the end of last year, the company announced the idea of ??using the Moglica reservoir, which holds 380 million cubic meters of water, as the basis for the new pumping station, as the turbines can also be placed underground.

This would significantly increase the annual electricity production in Albania and improve the management of the Devolli cascade. The company expects the study phase to be completed this year, paving the way for the decision to make such an investment or not. But the fact that this project is considered by Statkraft among the most important makes it even more possible to start the implementation phase in 2025 and production by 2030.

Rama at the summit in London: Albania has changed a lot! We are a good place to add serious investments

26 FEBRUARY 2024, 11:16 POLITICS

Prime Minister Edi Rama participated in the Investment Summit for the Region, held in London. The head of the government gave an online speech, as he was not physically present, where, among other things, he gave the reasons why entrepreneurs should invest in Albania.

He said that Albania has already changed a lot.

"The region is doing well and while the world is also changing, Albania has changed a lot. From a country with the stigma of an unsafe country, to a country which last year reached a figure of 10 million tourists, more than three times the population we have", said Rama.

He mentioned the new energy resources, while he said that before Albania's energy system was "almost being destroyed", because, as he said, "the majority of the population did not pay the bills".

"The price of electricity in Albania has not changed at all and we are below the regional levels", he said.

Rama added that: "Together with other countries in the region, we are a good place to add serious investments. They should (invest), because if they don't, someone else will."

American companies, interest in energy and tourism - Mullaj: They are sectors with high potential for investment
14:54 - 02/22/2024

American investments in Albania have increased significantly year after year, but the potential is even greater. In an interview for SCAN TV, the Executive Director of the American Chamber of Commerce, Neritan Mullaj, states that the interest to invest is very high.

" We already see a significant increase in American investments in Albania, over 230 million, which compared to 2020 is more than twice. It is a figure that if you take the comparison part is impressive, but still for us it is an indicator of opportunities. It is much lower than we would like it to be. Why? Because we have great potential and space to increase American investments in Albania and especially the cooperation of Albanian businesses with American businesses ."

Among the most attractive sectors for American businesses are energy due to the great potential it has and tourism.

"We see a lot of attention in tourism. Tourism is currently the locomotive that is orienting the Albanian economy. Albania now also offers great opportunities for the energy sector, which is also one of the focuses not only because the need both in Europe and beyond has increased for energy, but because Albania has various sources of renewable energy and the business interest is growing. We are seeing that there is a lot of interest in hydro energy, solar energy, wind energy. Investment plans which I really hope will become effective".

But to attract new investments, there is a need for more attention in improving the business climate in the country.

" Undoubtedly, the main one is the business climate, which is very important for American investors so that they find an opportunity to be equal in competition, to have the opportunity to freely enter the market, the procedures are very transparent, very clear" .

The American Chamber of Commerce has registered as its members 260 companies with annual revenues of up to 3 billion dollars, which employ about 40 thousand employees.

During his recent visit to Albania, American Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that American companies are interested in renewable energy. According to Blinken, Albania has great potential to diversify Albanian energy sources to also help our shared planet and create inclusive economic growth for all, through assistance in hydro, wind and solar energy.

The law on protected areas is approved amid protests - Environmental activists: We will not stop! The EU delegation and Rama react
15:41 - 02/22/2024

Protesters : Do not vote for the law! Do not vote for the law! Scratch the office, not nature! Scratch the office, not nature!

As the environmental activists and citizens protested in front of the parliament, the majority MPs raised the cards to approve the changes in the law "On protected areas".

Lindita Nikolla: 74 votes in favor, none against, no abstentions, approved!

From the time when 12 MPs proposed the changes to the government's stance, civil society organizations have argued that the new law paves the way for construction within any national park, landscape or natural monument, destroying these territories. However, after the approval of the law, they said that the resistance will continue, allowing the construction within the national assets.

The government approved the law. We will not forget that the real players in this dirty game are the government. It is precisely this prime minister, who today, being the chairman of the KKT, becomes the owner of the protected areas. We will not leave them in any place to build because it is our property, not theirs. They will have us here, in every battle, in every trench, be it legal, but also protests", said Taulant Bino, president of the Ornithological Association of Albania.

"Our cultural heritage has been destroyed in many cities and we are witnesses, even here in Tirana. The same thing will be done with natural heritage. They should be ashamed of themselves for raising the green cards so quickly because they are in such a hurry to destroy the protected areas. We know that after the green cards, bulldozers will go to the protected areas, but we will also be there and protest", said Olsi Nika, executive director of EcoAlbania.

"Deputies without integrity, without identity voted for the law today, despite the fact that we are the ones protesting here. The government has challenged the European Union to ban this law. It is a total disregard for international agreements, for our European future", said Joni Vorpsi from PPNEA.

After the plenary session, the Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro defended the approved law.

"The surface of the territories of the protected areas will not be affected in the final version and I want to thank the deputies who took into consideration the suggestions, and the opinion of the government that there will be no division of the territories of the protected areas with the municipalities", - said the Minister of Tourism and Environment Mirela Kumbaro.

After the approval, the delegation of the European Union in Albania also reacted, which in a post on social networks underlined that in the framework of membership negotiations, the approval of laws on matters covered by EU legislation presupposes genuine and comprehensive public consultation, as well as a predictable and transparent process. "The EU delegation will follow very closely the implementation of the new legal provisions for protected areas, according to the EU legal framework for environmental protection and Albania's international commitments", - it was said, among other things, in the reaction. The answer was given by Prime Minister Edi Rama, according to whom in the last 10 years an exemplary progress has been made in the protection of biodiversity and today we are the first in the region for the amount of protected areas. According to Rama, today's changes strengthen the basis of our ambitious path for sustainable development in harmony with the stunning beauty of Albania.

Energy in Albania, the sector that has aroused the interest of American companies - Blinken's message: There is great potential for resource diversification
14:28 - 02/16/2024

The visit of American Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Albania was a visit where strong reconfirming messages were given for the partnership of the two countries in the field of security. But there were also messages and commitments to strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries. Both Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that the meeting discussed cooperation in a very critical sector for the world at present, such as the energy sector. The Albanian Prime Minister confirmed that the American administration is committed to supporting green energy projects in Albania and tourism projects.

"We also discussed the dimensions of our bilateral cooperation, which is not only an uninterrupted strategic cooperation in the field of security, but it is also a cooperation that is increasingly taking on an economic dimension, and for us it is indisputable the need and the importance of American investments in Albania, as a proof, not only of this relationship, but also of the awareness of the great potential that Albania has in very critical sectors for today's world, in this case for our region today, for the energy sector.

The American administration is very committed to facing the challenge of climate change and is very committed to supporting all green energy projects and programs, and we think that in this respect, American companies are a desired partner," said Rama.

Meanwhile, American Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the tripling of American investments in Albania since 2019, he also confirmed that for American companies, one of the sectors that has aroused interest is that of renewable energy.

" We discussed ways to further strengthen our bilateral trade and investments, especially it is important to emphasize that US investments in Albania have tripled since 2019 and this will continue and the business climate will improve.

And in fact we see how there is great potential to diversify Albanian energy sources to also help our common planet and create inclusive economic growth for all, through assistance in hydro, wind and solar energy" stated Blinken .

The energy sector turns out to be a sector that is attracting the most well-known international companies. In recent years, global giants of this sector such as Bechtel, Voltalia, Eni, Shell or Statkraft have come to Albania to invest in various solar, water and wind energy projects or even for other natural resources.

Without investments in energy for 3 years, Balluku from Pogradeci: The pandemic and the war in Ukraine damaged us economically
From OraNews
Last update 14 February 2024,

The government had to stop some investments in infrastructure and energy for 3 years due to the pandemic or the war in Ukraine.

In an inspection at the Pogradec electrical substation, Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku emphasized that the year 2024 has come with a new spirit and promising projects for the country.

The pandemic, the aggression in Ukraine as well as other external factors that have affected the economy, have forced the government to curb investments in infrastructure and energy.

Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku during the inspection of the electrical substation works in Pogradec emphasized that the last 3 years have been extremely difficult.

"After 2020, with the start of the pandemic, we had to stop the investments that were then followed by the post-pandemic, and then with the energy crisis as a result of the Russian aggression in Ukraine," said Balluku.

According to Balluk, 2024 has come with a good investment plan.


"This is the first year that we have a good investment plan," said Balluku.

The cities with the highest number of tourists have priority in terms of new energy projects.

As for the electrical substation in Pogradec, the works according to number two of the government will be completed in December of this year.

Albania-Kosovo joint energy market - The first auction is held, the average price reached 111.38 euros/mWh
12:49 - 01/02/2024

February 1st marks the official merger of the Albania-Kosovo energy market, with the sale of energy traded the day before on the Albanian Electricity Exchange, ALPEX. According to official data, the traded volume reached a modest amount of 2,482 mWh, while the average price at which energy was traded is 111.38 euros/mWh.

The operation of the Albanian Electricity Exchange started in April last year, while the merger of the bidding areas Albania - Kosovo was part of the plan, to enable a wider market. However, the challenge remains to ensure the necessary liquidity, which includes the number of companies listed and the volumes traded on this platform.

Currently, there are 21 member companies, while the vast majority are Albanian companies. More specifically, there are 17 companies from Albania, including 5 public energy companies, and 4 companies from Kosovo. 2 of the latter are public and the other 2 are private.

Energy trading on the stock market presents a number of advantages, starting with the provision of a transparent and competitive electricity market on an hourly basis, enabling the energy price to reflect the true and fair value of electricity in the system.

However, this significantly depends on its liquidity. Likewise, the creation of a common energy market presents advantages for both countries, enabling an increase in energy security.

"It degrades nature"/ Environmentalists against the new law on (un)protected areas
17:24 : 01/27/2024

Environmental organizations and experts in the field of nature conservation have expressed their opposition through a public stance for legal changes in the "Protected Zones" law, where the draft law provides for the construction of national parks. The position comes after the presentation of the draft law in the commission.

" This draft law contradicts the purpose of the law on protected areas ", states the position of environmental organizations. According to them, if the proposed amendments are approved, the conditions will be created for hydropower plants to be built in the protected areas, hydrocarbons to be extracted, as well as urban constructions.

For environmental organizations, these types of activities "alter, intensively exploit and degrade natural ecosystems, thus violating the essence of the law on protected areas".

Without legal changes, protected areas are classified as territorial areas in which natural ecosystems and wildlife must be protected precisely from the aforementioned investments.

In the draft law, it is proposed to manage at least 20% of the surface of the protected area by the respective municipalities.

Albania will limit final approvals of renewable energy projects to one year
12 January, 2024

Final approvals for renewable electricity projects in Albania will expire after 12 months to discourage investors from buying and selling them, according to the Ministry of Energy Infrastructure. It is preparing to launch the public call for a 300MW solar power auction next week, while an energy storage auction may also be in the works, according to the annual presentation. State-owned energy company KESH unveiled a pumped storage hydropower project along with 76 MW of solar power capacity. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku called on private investors to take their energy projects very seriously. All approvals, both final and preliminary, will have expiration dates, she warned at an annual conference.

Investors in energy are welcome and necessary, she emphasized and asserted that the process is very simple in terms of requirements such as location and technical study. Albania does not want permits and documentation to be bought and sold, Balluku asserted. "The final approval will last only 12 months before the start of construction, so as not to keep it in your pocket for three years and sell it to each other," explained the deputy prime minister.

Approvals issued for 896 MW in solar power capacity, 86 MW for wind power

There are 64 solar energy projects with final approvals outside the subsidy mechanisms, with a total capacity of 603 MW, Balluku revealed. That compares with just 13 final approvals for 37 MW in wind power. Preliminary consent, which in 99% of cases leads to final approval, has been granted for 16 photovoltaic projects with a total capacity of 293 MW and nine in the wind segment, for 49 MW, Balluku said. In total, the planned capacities are 896 MW and 86 MW, respectively. This compares with 49 solar applications totaling 1.9 GW and 26 of 2.05 GW for wind, which are in the pipeline. There are still no wind turbines in operation in Albania.

The ministry scheduled the launch of the public call for a 300 MW solar power auction for January 15. The pre-qualification deadline is set for April 29, after which technical bids will be evaluated until May 24. Participants will have until July 7 to submit their bids, which must be opened three days later. In addition, a reference to a plan for an energy storage auction appeared among slides in the ministry's presentation, but officials did not address the topic.

Photovoltaics other than agrosolar are only allowed on lower grade land

Turning to the concept of agrivoltaic, also known as agrosolar, Balluku said that investors can combine agricultural production with solar power plants on land in categories 7 and 8. Other solar power plants are only allowed on land with lower grades – 9 and 10, she added. "Albania is a small country, where land is really one of the most precious assets we have," she said, but also added that a balance must be found with energy needs.

KESH will turn the Fierza hydropower plant into a storage system with pumps

The state energy unit KESH is planning to install a pumped storage system for the future surplus in solar and wind energy production, announced its administrator Ergys Verdho. At the end of 2025, the company will have 76 MW of photovoltaics in operation, he estimated. It therefore aims to create a system that would pump water from the Koman hydropower plant upstream to the Fierza hydropower plant, explained Verdho, quoted by SCAN TV. He highlighted the fact that the Koman reservoir is small, arguing that the upgrade would increase efficiency at times of the strongest flows.

Statkraft is also developing a pumped storage hydropower project in Albania. It is worth noting that the operator of the transmission system OST broke ground at the end of December in the first electricity interconnection project with North Macedonia.
