4 FAQs about Albanian Quasi-solar Storage
Does Albania need a diversified energy production mix?
The government of Albania seems to have already acknowledged the need for a diversified energy production mix. The Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Belinda Balluku, has repeatedly highlighted that one of the key pillars of focus is the national strategy on energy diversification.
Is Albania a good place to invest in renewables?
Opportunities for renewables, and especially for solar and wind energy, are extensive in Albania. According to IRENA’s Renewables Readiness Assessment report (2021), the solar radiation is very high throughout most of its territory, with the country enjoying some of Europe’s highest number of sunshine hours per year.
Does Albania have a wind power capacity?
Although Albania has currently no wind power capacity, the country also presents a significant cost-competitive wind potential based on IRENA’s estimates.
How can Albania increase its non-hydro renewables?
Albania is also aiming to increase its non-hydro renewables to almost 640MW by 2030, of which 490MW is planned to come from solar photovoltaic plants. As part of the project, KESH is planning to introduce training modules and incentives which will help to create employment opportunities for women.
