Diversification of energy sources, the 2022 crisis prompted private producers to

The 2022 crisis highlighted Albania's need to give another boost to the process of increasing energy production resources.

The high import prices, in addition to devouring hundreds of millions of euros from the budget, also shook the strategies on paper, dictating the taking of concrete steps. And today, two years later, what is the panorama of the energy sector in the country? Besjan Kadiu, Director of Policy and Development of Industry and Energy, says to A2 CNN: "Currently we have, also due to the crisis, an increased incentive, not only in the support given through competitive practices, auctions for the allocation of generation capacities new ones from renewable sources, but we also have an increased incentive from the private sector".

From Karavastaja to Spitalle, including the self-producers in the distribution network, the plants in Qyrsaq, Vaun e Dejës or the Zadeje dam and together with the recent wind and photovoltaic hybrid auctions, the energy sector in the country today enjoys an added value that is expected to generate up to in 1.3 terrwatt/hour of energy. Simply put, this amount would be almost enough to not import energy from abroad at all, while the government's ambition is that by 2030, the country will turn into a net exporter.

Besjan Kadiu added: "I wouldn't call it just an ambition, but I would call it a plan that is being implemented, since we currently have an increase in capacity from renewable, diversified and alternative sources with hydro."

An article by the Italian daily "Europa Today", based on Eurostat data, ranked Albania in fourth place, after Norway, Sweden and Finland in terms of energy consumption from renewable sources. For the Director of Policy and Development of Industry and Energy, Besjan Kadiu, Albania has the potential to climb even higher in the list of "clean energy sources".

"We have not only potential, but also concrete commitment. In the plan for Energy and Climate, Albania's commitment to the use of renewable energy in the total amount consumed within the country is over 50%. Currently, as described in the article, we are at the level of 44%", stressed Kadiu.

Last year, Albania ended with a positive energy balance, collecting around 50 million euros from exports.
