The suspension of HPPs was done in violation of the law, violation even with the granting of permits, KLSH: Deformation of the competitive market in the energy field

WRITTEN BY SOT.COM.AL
JANUARY 14, 2023

The suspension of the procedures for granting permits for the construction of small hydropower plants was done in violation of the law." This is one of the conclusions of the audit of the High State Control, conducted at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, published a while ago. KLSH refers to the decision taken for the period February-July 2019, which according to the audit contradicts the law, which assesses the need to build new production capacities and not to suspend them. However, the Supreme State Audit found a number of violations in the procedures followed for granting permits for hydropower plants under 2 M, when this process has not been suspended. "The audit showed that the files have significant deficiencies in the documentation throughout the application phase, lack of in-depth examination regarding the authorship of the preparation of the documentation by licensed specialists in the field and in some cases non-fulfillment of the criteria by the applying entities", the document states, among other things. Also, deficiencies in the documented activity of the application review commission, loss of the validity period of permits and licenses due to lack of timely response from state institutions, while the applicant's files are not systematized, not logged and not archived according to the requirements of the legislation in force. This situation, according to KLSH, affects the lack of effective, efficient and economic use of the national natural wealth, as well as distortion of the competitive market in the energy field, with consequences for businesses and the economy as a whole
