The unit in the municipality of Durrës in the west of Albania, on the Adriatic coast, is planned for 100 MW in capacity. Karavasta is in Fier. A two-stage tender is under preparation for 100 MW in wind power, though the available capacity could be increased to as much as 150 MW.

Does Albania have a hydro power plant?

Albania’s domestic generation is almost entirely dependent on hydropower since the country’s only thermal power plant is currently inoperable. The total installed generation capacity has increased over the last few years because of new private investments in hydro power plants and more recently in small solar farms.

How much solar energy is there in Albania?

Albania has an average of 2,400 hours of sun around 240-300 sunny days per year – there is significant potential to exploit solar energy, especially as it does not raise any pollution or other environmental risks. The potential solar energy that could be generated per annum is calculated at approximately 1500-1700 kWh/m 2.

Is Albania a good place for solar energy?

Albania gets about 2100–2700 hours of sunshine in a year so it has a great potential for solar energy. Solar energy is easily accessible since most energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun. It could be used for heating and lighting homes, commercial, and industrial buildings.
