The energy reserve in our country has reached historic lows warning of an energy crisis. According to the data, in mid-March 2022, fierza levels fell to 261.1 metres above sea level or the lowest recorded since 2002.
Under the regulation that hydropower plants are managed, it is predicted that Fierza should have a quota of 289 to 290 metres for the period October – March. If you make a comparison the level of Fierza is about 30 meters less.
Earlier this year, ABC News writes, the situation has worsened because cascades have been used maximum to produce energy on the grounds that the price on stock exchanges could decrease during the spring. According to KESH data, the country's energy reserve has halved from 650 GWh in early January to 313.5 GWh in mid-March.
The maximum water quota in Lake Fierza is 296. m and the minimum work quota is 240 which indicates that the energy reserve is minimal.
There are only two factors that can affect the improvement of the situation that are the decrease in energy consumption with the warming of the weather and the melting of snow. But in the absence of precipitation their effect does not resolve the situation. The Albanian Electro-Energy Corporation has imported 89.1m euros of electricity from 1 January to 14 March. The purchase price on the stock exchange turns out to have suffered decreases in recent weeks and from 237.2 euros megawatt in January to 222.7 euros during March.
The alarm about the energy situation in the country has also been openly articulated by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has also warned measures to save energy. In this framework Monday, it is defined as a day off for the administration as an initiative to save energy.
