Albania counts 264 active contracts for the production of energy from hydropower plants. According to data from the National Agency of Natural Resources, they are divided between 176 concession contracts and 88 contracts concluded according to the government decision that regulates new energy production capacities of up to 2 MW. However, some of the contracts have not yet started construction.

More specifically, there are 50 concession contracts and 43 others signed according to the VKM that not only have not started the operation, but have not even started the construction of the works. AKBN does not state whether they have been found to be in violation of the terms of the contract, but earlier a report of the High State Control, on the activities of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, found that a part of HPPs entered into production much earlier later than the forecast in the contract.

According to KLSH, the ministry should have resolved the problematic contracts or should have imposed sanctions according to the obligations provided in the relevant contracts.

Based on this situation, KLSH recommended to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy to examine and take responsibility for the situation created by not taking measures to regulate the findings from the monitoring of the implementation of concession contracts and not imposing sanctions according to the obligations provided in relevant contracts.
