Austrian power utility power EVN has submitted a binding offer for a licence to build three hydropower plants in Albania with combined capacities of 400MW.

In July the Albanian government cleared the way for EVN to build hydro plants to generate more than 1000GWh per year on its Devol river. The greenlight for the project came mid-year after EVN undertook feasibility studies in the preceding months into the possibility of building three peak-storage plants on the river.

The utility said that the approval, following assessment by state authorities, was the first step in developing the 'sizeable’ hydro power potential of Albania, and it launched a definitive tendering process with a deadline of Monday 19 November for offers to build the plants.

In January, a pact was signed between the government of Albania, the federal province of Lower Austria and EVN on energy development. the feasibility studies were started thereafter and the package of three plants is the first product of the pact.

EVN hopes to develop energy schemes in south east Europe in a similar model to that in Lower Austria with a mix of hydro, renewables and thermal resources.

If this Austrian company wins the bid, when is it planned to start construction?


What Albania really needs to meet its demand, the bets way is to build dams in a river which the flow never stops unlike an artificial lake where you have to rely on rain!

MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - The International Monetary Fund said Albania's growth outlook stays positive but serious macroeconomic challenges will have to be tackled urgently and forcefully if the good progress of recent years is to be maintained.

The IMF reiterated its support to Albania's sustainable growth, but said a key challenge ahead for authorities will be to steer a clear course among the many competing priorities for the economy.

Economic growth has remained strong at 6 pct despite the energy crisis and regional drought, but cost pressures have added to inflation and fiscal risks are on the horizon, the IMF said. Stronger-than-projected exports and manufacturing activity have offset the negative impact of the energy crisis and drought on growth, it added.

Particularly, the severe deterioration in the state-owned electricity company KESH's financial position needs to be reversed and public capital expenditures will need to be contained to avoid inflationary pressures, the IMF said.

With these prerequisites in place, the IMF said that the recent increase in inflation is likely to be temporary, mainly reflecting one-off effects of higher food prices and energy disruptions, and the Bank of Albania's timely policy action and well-established credibility should help bring inflation back to the target range.

The authorities are aiming at faster mobilization of foreign financing for large infrastructure projects in 2008, which could add to overheating pressures and fiscal risks and it will be important to ensure that the budget deficit does not give rise to inflationary pressures, the IMF said.

The IMF said it is convinced inflation will return to the 2-4 pct target range in 2008, supported by an appropriate fiscal and monetary stance, measures in the electricity


It seems albania is doing pretty good economically despite the energy crisis. 6% growth is pretty good i think.

US group nears $3.7 bln Albania power deal

By Benet Koleka
TIRANA, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Swiss-based consortium ASG Power is close to clinching a deal to build a gas-fired power plant, a power line and a gas pipeline between Albania and Italy, ending decades of shortages in the Balkan country, its CEO said.
The scheme involves importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship to Albania and using some to supply local needs for electricity and eventually for gas, while exporting most of it to Italy in the form of gas and power.
Chief Executive Officer Agim Gjinali said that ASG -- made up of public utility AET from Switzerland's Ticino canton, with Swiss and U.S. partners -- had obtained one of the permits needed for a 2.5 billion euro ($3.66 billion) "Adriatic Gas and Power" project.
"If we receive the two last permits in 2007, we plan to start building in June next year," Gjinali said, referring to the permits needed to build interconnection lines to the national grid.
"It will take us three years to finish. The secret and the potential of our project consists in offering Albania the electricity it needs to make up for its shortages," he told Reuters in a telephone interview late on Monday.
Albania's creaking power sector has attracted no investment since communism fell in 1990, and still relies on communist-era hydropower plants that are frequent victims of drought and poor maintenance.
A surge in demand due to booming business and private consumption has further burdened the network and power cuts of 15 hours a day are not rare, leaving most Albanians to rely on generators.
Gjinali said the project would see some 100 shipments of LNG from Qatar, Oman and Egypt arrive to a plant in Seman, southern Albania, every year.
It would be re-gasified and used to fire a plant with a planned capacity of 1,200 megawatts.

UNDERSEA LINKS
The project would also include building a 340 km undersea power line across the Adriatic, linking Seman and Foggia in Italy, as well as a 116-km gas pipeline to the port of Brindisi in southern Italy.
Of the total forecast amount of 10 billion cubic metres of gas a year, two billion will go to supplying the Seman power plant and a future domestic market.
"The natural gas market does not yet exist in Albania, but two power stations, various factories and industrial and energy parks could mean there is demand, and Albania could gradually build a (gas) network," Gjinali said.
The remaining eight billion cubic metres would go to Italy through the undersea pipeline.
On electricity sales, the consortium aimed to offer Albanian business and state electricity firm KESH the first 200 megawatts of capacity at cost price, the rest at regional market prices.
Export targets were mainly Italy and the wider Balkan market -- Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro, said Gjinali, who declined to name the U.S. partners in the project until all the necessary permits had been obtained.
He said that potential consumers in Europe had been enthusiastic about the project at the first approach, seeing it as another route to a stable, diversified supply.
"Our project diversifies gas sources and eases dependence on Russian and Algerian gas," Gjinali said, "and Europe has a big need for gas right now." (Editing by Ellie Tzortzi and Anthony Barker)

Po kete po them dhe une. Italia do marri energji te lire nga Shqiperia pa perballuar ndonje sakrifice ose ndryshe, Shqiperia=Koshi plerave i Italise. Sa per mbeturinat, tynele minirash ka kudo ne bote dhe prape ja sollen shqiperise .

[daalbo]

Sic e thashe dhe me perpara, une e kam te sigurte qe kjo s'do te ndertohet, por ama energjia berthamore eshte e sigurte dhe e paster nqs se gjerat behen tamam. P.sh. ne France mbetjet berthamore rigjenerohen dhe perdoren prape. Kjo e redukton shume sasine e mbetjeve qe duhet te groposet. Termocentralet e thjeshte e ndosin mjedisin me shume se centralet berthamore duke marre parasysh naften qe duan termocentralet.

Byth grisur dhe bishtin perpjet...kshu i thone ksaj. S'dashke te behesh "kosh plerash" te Italise ti...se Italia merka energji me lire nga ne. Turp i botes!!

Tama Shqiptarce...

Dhe cfar is sollen Shqiperise se s'e morra vesh??

[mirko1443]

Sa te shkurt e ke memorjen o derzi, s'man mend se c'ndodhi andej nga 90-ta? Byth-grisur jemi qe jemi po pse duhet te zhgenjejme dhe veten tone, si me centralin berthamor ashtu dhe me tecin, ne do shfrytezohemi njemije here me keq se ne kohen e ahmet zagollit, s'ke c'ti besh shqiptari aq tru ka.

The artificial lakes are created by building the dams on a flowing river.

The dams are build for a single purpose: to create the artificial lake at an elevated water level that will secure stable and constant water flow as well create the cascade effect for powering the turbines.


... and what Albania really needs to meet its demand is to stop blabbering (and political propaganda) and and start working on the issue.

[skender]

some more pics from the construction of thie highway...and the bridge is getting build

[skender]

the work on the highway goes on 24 hours a day. 12 hour shifts. i heard the workers work pretty much non stop!! they wanna finish this fast...

[TiRaNa]

When is it planned for the whole project to be completed, by what month, year?

[Treasure]

this segment by 2009

[liburni]

seems like its coming out pretty good......hope work continues without any stoppage

Hey guys, I have a question (OT, hehehe ): is there any OFFICIAL minority in Albania? I know there are "Greeks, Aromanians, Torbesh, Gorani, Macedonian Slavs, Roma, Montenegrins, Bulgarians, Balkan Egyptians and Jews" (Wikipedia) in Albania, but is any of them (and which) official? Like in Slovenia we have Hungarians and Italians (and Gypsies, I guess) official minorities, but Serbs, Croats etc., which are much more populous, aren't official minorities. I can't find anything about it in the Albanian Constitution.

Thanks for the answer! Oh, and please answer quickly!

This is not on topic at all, and will ruin a good thread...

No there are not, there aren't even that many minorities in Albania

[Verso]

^ So there's no official minority in Albania? Oh, and I have no bad intentions, I just have to do a seminar about it today!
