The project for a gas-fired power plant in the area of ??Fier, where one of the exit points of the TAP gas pipeline is located, has moved to another stage.

The non-technical summary of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project with an installed capacity of 170 MW has been submitted to the Albanian institutions, one of the main conditions to obtain the necessary approvals and permits.


The company FIER THERMOELECTRIC JSC has underlined in the submitted document that it intends to develop the project of the construction and operation of the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (CGT), with natural gas as fuel, with a capacity of 170 MW, with a modern technology of energy production with a high efficiency of 57% at maximum load.

"The location of the plant will be in the area of ??Roskovec near Fier in Albania and near the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and near the High Voltage Electric Network.

The development of this project and the actions supported by it will bring an increase in electricity production and diversify local production. P

at the same time, it will improve the balance in production between hydropower plants and renewable energy sources and will have a protected security of supply due to the direct connection to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline," the document states.

The power plant will be designed for 25 years of operation and the energy produced is expected to be sent to the National Transmission Grid through a gas insulated substation (GIS).

The supply and source of natural gas of ALBANIA ÇGT according to the document is already fully protected due to the agreement signed, in February 2022, between GEK TERNA (on behalf of ALBANIA ÇGT) and the Public Gas Corporation of Greece (DEPA) for the supply from Public Gas Corporation of Greece to Albania/Albania CGT about 2.0 TW/year of gas for a period of at least seven (7) years, delivered to the ABV31 Interconnection Point of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) in ROSKOVEC, subject to the terms to the market and the contract.

According to the document, the project is located in an area distant from the houses, while it is located in the vicinity of the surface water sources, the Seman River, and specifically about 890 m away in aerial distance from the river bank.

The Fier Thermoelectric company was registered in October last year and has as shareholders GEK TERNA Holdings, Real Estate & Constructions Societe Anonyme with 70 percent of the shares and Gener 2 with 30 percent of them. /MONITOR
