TIRANA, January 9 /ATSH/ Deputy Prime Minister, at the same time Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku stated today that Albania intends to become an energy leader in the region, becoming a net exporter by 2030.

In her speech at the press conference regarding the annual work analysis for 2022 as well as the objectives for 2023, Balluku stated that the country's problem was that energy was produced only from water.

She underlined that energy should be produced by photovoltaic parks, wind farms, and gas.

Regarding the energy produced by the wind, Balluku said that, "we started with the EBRD and we have closed the first phase and we will now close the second phase, having a winning company, a company like 'Voltalia' that won photovoltaic parks. We will have one or several companies, as this is a hybrid competition, which can build a total of 200 MWh from the wind".

But, added Balluku, "we have another project, very big, important and aggressive, which is the gasification of Albania. It is a new policy, it started a few years ago, we already have a company 'Albgazin'".

"We have already reached a moment when 2023 will be the year of the realization of some of the most important projects, starting with the gasification of Korça," said Balluku.

According to Balluk, the gasification of Fier will follow after Korça, emphasizing that these two cities are the first for this project due to their proximity to the TAP gas pipeline system.

Balluku underlined that, "Albania aims to become an energy leader of the region, becoming a net exporter by 2030".

Balluku further added that this year there was interest from the private sector to enter the energy field and no longer seeking the support of the prepaid and predetermined price from the state.

"During this year we have approved 7 projects, which are equivalent to a capacity of 300 MWh, or in other words an injection from the private investor in Albania with 180 million euros. meanwhile, 55 projects are for approval in MIE, which in their total are equivalent to 1.7 GW, or in other words 1.1 billion euro financial injection in the Albanian economy", said Balluku.

"The strong entry of the private sector into the energy industry, but without the support of the state, until yesterday money was taken from the state to maintain the private sector, now the opposite is happening, it is a historical momentum for Albania, which during 2023 will significantly materializes", said Balluku.
