Could be, but like everyone else, know one knows, It just might not happen in the time frame expected, No one knows. Many not happy but it is what it is.
I remember telling you it was a great Interview, but remember that feeling also that Juljania really screwed up
I knew things would change, but it is what it is. Falak plays by his own rules it’s obvious, they have no intention of building a power company or something would have happened in 10 years, so what’s the plan here? If corruption is tied to this it will set on the docks like a load of lettuce.

Well at least it seems to be moving forward, My assumption was based on the solar projects that are being auctioned and built, I was thinking they would want to trade this electricity on the free market. Those solar projects seem to go up pretty quickly.
I'm gauging this trading market with the Hopium of starting 3power projects as a simple base starting point.
I actually thought the process was further along with Albania integrating the Electric trading Market, but maybe not as this shows, or did some just get chit canned.

The day after the signing of the 'Memorandum of Understanding' between the Ministry of Energy and the Power China company, Minister Damian Gjiknuri told CRI Shqip that there was a very intense discussion on the Skavica hydropower plant and a project on the electricity distribution sector especially for combat the phenomenon of electricity theft, through technologies and applications that have been used elsewhere.
"We are on a good track discussing and waiting for teams of Chinese specialists to come to Albania and research closely what we will do with the proposed technical solutions and then look at the legal and financial solutions to these projects," told Gjiknuri CRI English.
The memorandum was signed on Wednesday between Energy Minister Damian Gjiknuri and Mr. Zhang Jianyue, chief executive of Power China Chengdu Engineering Corporation Limited.

Anyone that would create a ticker with a Q on the end of it
is not stable, enough said
No companies seem to interested to work in Albania, I thought someone would jump right on this project to convert from diesel with the TAP gas line complete. This being said I still have not seen companies competing in Albania. You would have thought a Chinese company would have been all over this.
The tender for the operation of the Vlora Power Plant fails several times in a row. The last tender opened on December 31 last year was again unsuccessful as all the companies that participated in the competition did not meet the criteria set out in the documentation. This tender has been open for several years since 2016 but has never had a positive result.
The private will invest to repair power plant defects, as well as change the diesel-powered power generation system to reduce costs. The bidders had to submit clear plans on how they would put this work to work by building a 40km-long pipeline branch to connect the Vlora power plant to the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).
The last race was with a € 58.7 million limit fund and the challenge was between the three companies, which were consortiums and only the Turkish consortium Calik Energy and the Israeli company IE Energy then reached the final stage. Sources from the Ministry of Infrastructure told Report TV that the Turkish bidder was considered the most efficient bidder, but a contract could not be signed after the company set conditions, one of which was for the government to provide free gas and did the rest.
The Vlora power plant was an investment that cost $ 130 million; it has an installed power of 97 megawatts but was never put into operation. Since January 2011, the Vlora TPP has been conserving, without producing a single day of electricity, due to defects and the high cost of diesel production

Finance and economy minister got chit canned after meeting with Prime minister and new USA Ambassador Yuri Kim
Elton Haxhi was forced to resign following the scandal over the Duty Free spaces at Mother Teresa Airport, which sparked international backlash from the US embassy, ??jeopardizing the government's image.
At the height of the tourist season in Albania, on August 16th, Deputy Minister Haxhi, benefiting from a temporary delegation of the firm by the Minister of Economy and Finance Anila Denaj, who was abroad, signed in a record time within 24 hours the renovation. license for the wife of John John, although the tender was won by the American company Cruise Duty Free to administer these premises.

here's a good read, look at Macedonia also
The American Chamber of Commerce in our country held a conference this Monday to talk about building a sustainable business climate and the work that has been and will be done.
Enio Jaco President of the American Chamber of Commerce has also mentioned the " Duty Free " scandal where according to him this company has been prevented from investing in our country. Among other things, the President of the American Chamber of Commerce has stated that the negative business climate in the country is affected by three problems.
"1. Extending the time for obtaining construction permits. 2. Frequent tax changes. 3. Implementation of contracts, as they are not implemented. Corruption seriously impedes foreign investment in Albania as it is widespread. The latest case is that of Duty Free, where we were damaged by bureaucracies. He has won a tender with Rinas Airport, plans to invest $ 3 million, and is currently facing legal issues unrelated to his business. This is a specific case when someone has had to invest and is hindered. " Says Jaco.
Jaco is said that the business climate in Albania has some problems although there has been success in the work that has been done. According to Jaco problem lies in the public consultation, the which has not been respected.
"We have had both successes and difficulties. It is public consultation, as the law on public consultation is not respected. The law obliges them to notify every law 20 days in advance, from our analysis it has not been respected. The minimum level has never been met and has not been met. "It has left us time to give proper thought to many laws. This disregard has negative effects on business confidence. The Ministry of Enterprise Protection should take a bigger role in this role." t ha Enio Jaco.
Jaco went on to say, inter alia, that the trade balance between the US and Albania is much lower than with North Macedonia.
"The investment climate, we all understand the importance of investments, as they create employment opportunities, increase competitiveness and generate revenue. Albania now needs more projects, as TAP and Devoll are running out and need to be replaced to keep the economy where it has been. Consumer spending will be affected due to low revenues in the last three months by 2020. Albania with the US has a very low $ 100 million trade balance, while with North Macedonia the balance is $ 230 million. higher though it is a smaller economy than Albania. The Western Balkans is becoming an interesting region for large investors. " said Jaco.

That was a 2017 publish, Just referencing it because the college paper just posted also referenced those 2 projects and time frame. The Country needs construction projects from International Investors'
Waiting is hard sometimes but here is a quick reflection, Natural gas or Tap was pretty much completed, I don't believe it matters which hydro project starts first, after some research from that paper that was discovered.
They need investment,to keep people working, and since the email is down at the office, maybe they are preparing or maybe they don't know there email is not working, I talked with another business on the same floor and they said they see people in that office but I cannot get through on the phone either.
Exhaustion of the effect of the TAP pipeline
The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy gave the Committee of the Economy an alternative regarding balancing the exhausting effect of TAP pipeline investments. Recently there has been a strong emphasis by international institutions but also by the Bank of Albania that the termination of investment in the TAP pipeline and the Devoll cascade will significantly reduce the contribution to the foreign investment economy. Minister Gjiknuri said there are currently two major energy projects, namely the Kalivaçi and Shala hydropower plants, which have projected values ??of over 100m euros each, which will offset the gap that TAP will leave in the economy.
Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Damian Gjiknuri today defended before the Committee on Economy and Finance the 2018 budget and key objectives it aims to achieve with this money. He said that there are at least 42% more funds projected than a year ago that have a substantially more strategic approach to projects.
In this context, it is intended to complete projects whose shipyards remain open over the years and new projects are launched. Tirana-Elbasan, which has a long history of crawling according to the minister, will close within 2018. At the end there will be an audit of this road which has resulted out of any cost forecasts almost doubling compared to the original plan.
A new project expected to open is the one for Tepelena Bypass, which will be followed by the second Korça-Erseka lot.
Private public partnership
The $ 1 billion project aimed at financing some infrastructure projects is expected to give another boost to the sector but also to the economy as a whole. According to Gjiknuri, these are sustainable projects as the finances are budget-based, not exposing businesses that are part of the scheme to insolvency risks.
Investing in roads and ports is a must, given that economic growth is always linked to better infrastructure. The reason for choosing to operate the PPP seems to be that Albania is no longer able to obtain soft loans from international financial institutions. This comes as the Rama government received some loans from the World Bank, IMF or EBRD in its first term.
Ports and Airports
The government will be assisted by Turkey to build the airport in the south of the country, an ambition stated several times by Kyrmin Minister Rama. The airport is expected to be built in Vlora and serve as an important node with a direct impact on tourism. On the other hand, it aims to increase investment in ports that will be financed through soft loans. The Minister asserted that it will be the ports themselves that will pay the loans through the revenue that comes from operating fees

London, UK , Feb. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Argentum 47, Inc. (
www.arg47.com) (OTC: ARGQ) and its fully-owned foreign subsidiaries, a specialist in both Retail and Corporate Financial Services and Corporate Consultancy, with offices located the United Kingdom , today would like to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer.
On February 1, 2020 , Mr. Peter J. Smith stepped down as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors voted favourably to employ Mr. Nicholas P. Tuke as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors also agreed that Mr. Peter J. Smith will continue in his role as a member of the Board of Directors along with Mr. Enzo Taddei , who will also continue as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Smith’s decision to step down as CEO was purely motivated in order to allow him to concentrate 100% of his time on the growth by acquisition strategy that the Company implemented in 2018 and to hand over the financial services business to Mr. Tuke, who has extensive and proven experience in that field.
Alongside his new role as CEO of Argentum 47, Inc. , Mr. Tuke will continue in his role as Managing Director of the Company’s wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited , a Independent Financial Advisory Firm that currently has circa of U.S. $51 million Dollars of Funds Under Management / Administration.
The first executive decision that Mr. Tuke made as the Company’s new CEO was to employ Mr. Kenneth Kennison under the Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited banner. Mr. Kennison, the Company’s new lead Independent Financial Adviser, has been tasked to organically grow the funds under administration of the company and brings vast experience, know-how and knowledge to the Cheshire Trafford team.
For various months now, as managing director of Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited , Mr. Tuke has been heavily involved in the due diligence and compliance process of an Independent Financial Advisory (IFA) firm based in the City of London ( United Kingdom ). This targeted IFA business currently has 136 Million GBP (approximately U.S. $179 Million ) of Funds Under Administration and historical recurring revenues of a little more than One Million GBP (approximately U.S. $1.32 million ). This IFA firm has now become the Company’s most interesting business proposal and target acquisition since management implemented the inorganic growth plan in 2018.
Mr. Nick Tuke , CEO of Argentum 47, Inc. , said: “Following a ground up review of the Cheshire Trafford business model in 2019, we have completely restructured and streamlined the business and its processes. I firmly believe that as a result of this Cheshire Trafford heads into 2020 in a stronger position than it has been for many years. Key to this has been the recruitment of two high quality and highly qualified Independent Financial Advisers, Mr. Declan Harrington (recruited in 2019) and Mr. Kenneth Kennison , both of whom bring a wealth of experience to the company. Taking this into consideration I fully expect the Funds Under Administration at Cheshire Trafford to grow by at least 20% between now and the end of Q2 2020, with this growth to continue in an upwards trend throughout the year, heralding an exciting new chapter in Cheshire Trafford’s 44-year history. As the Company´s new CEO, I will continue to work closely with Mr. Peter Smith and Mr. Enzo Taddei regarding further acquisitions, with the first of these being the firm based in the City of London . I have agreed with the Board of Directors a particularly robust due diligence and compliance review process for this and all other future acquisitions hence only when these have been carried out to my satisfaction, will we be entering into any formal written agreements. We are entering an incredibly exciting period for the Company and I am looking forward, over the coming months and years, to growing our existing business and building on the solid foundations that we now have put in place.”
Mr. Peter Smith , outgoing CEO and current Director of Argentum 47, Inc. , said: “Since we changed the direction of the business away from the IPO world to the more stable income producing Financial Advisory platform, Mr. Tuke has become integral to all we do. Having worked with him previously, I know that his experience and knowledge of the IFA market is second to none and therefore it is the right decision to put the Company in his capable hands, thus allowing me to continue to seek out further financing and further potential acquisitions. The acquisition trail is an arduous one at times with a vast number of potential targets falling by the wayside after careful scrutiny; this move means that I can continue to dig around these potential targets with the knowledge that the Company is in the best possible hands and is being guided in its growth by someone who shares the ambition, drive and determination of the rest of the Board of Directors and someone who will accelerate the growth of the company in 2020 and beyond.”
