A one-day workshop on the utilization of Albania’s significant hydroelectric potential is convened by the Institute of Energy for SE Europe (IENE) in Tirana on June 3, 2016. This special IENE event, organized in cooperation with Albanian counterparts and under the auspices of the Albanian Ministry of Energy and Industry and of the Greek embassy in Tirana, will examine the further exploitation and expansion of Albania’s hydropower sector and propose a viable strategy for sustainable development.

The workshop will also examine the role of Albania’s hydroelectric potential in terms of electricity exports to the surrounding countries thus contributing to the improvement of energy security in the West Balkan region and SE Europe in general. The need to attract and accelerate investment for the construction of both small and large hydropower plants in Albania but also to maintain and upgrade the existing infrastructure will be highlighted in this highly focused IENE workshop.

Latest developments in energy regulation as well as the optimal use of energy, water management, rational operation of hydropower plants, the electricity supply and demand situation, the lack of sufficient grid connections and the country’s long-term commitment to achieve greater diversification in power generation, are some of the important issues that will be discussed during the workshop.

Furthermore, this IENE event will review latest research and market developments in Albania’s electricity and hydroelectricity sector. Key energy policy issues, including administrative, financial and non-technical obstacles which hinder investment will also be also further discussed. Also, a number of completed and planned hydroelectricity projects will be presented by executives of the companies involved.

Albanian, Greek and international experts and companies, will participate in this one-day Workshop which will aim to highlight the important issues of the sector. Greece’s Public Power Corporation (PPC) is the lead sponsor of the event while several local companies have also pledged important support.

Attendance of the Workshop is by invitation only and is open to all IENE members. In order to attend it is important to register by completing the Workshop registration form and forward it to IENE offices by May 30th, 2016. Registration forms are available by visiting the workshop’s banner on this site.

Area merre pjese ne takimin me gazetare dhe përfaqësues te shoqërisë civile, Area Press Release, 23 Shkurt 2016

Shoqata Shqiptare e Energjisë së Rinovueshme – Area e përfaqësuar nga Drejtori Juridik Dr. Lorenc
Gordani, morri pjese ditën e hënë, me datë 22 Shkurt 2016, ne një takim mes
organizatave dhe ekspertëve që punojnë në fushën e energjisë dhe mjedisit dhe
gazetarëve. Takim i organizua nga BIRN Albania u zhvillua në sallën e Hotel
Xheko Imperial (ish-Karlsberg), me qëllim që të prezantoj gazetaret me punën e
shoqërisë civile ne kete fushe, si dhe te identifikoje problematikat kryesore,
te cilat do te orientojnë punën e BIRN Albania dhe grantet qe ajo do te ofroje
për gazetaret shqiptare.

Takimi i drejtuar nga z. Zef Preçi, Executive Director at Albanian Center for Economic Research (ACER), kishte për qellim te vendoste ura
bashkëpunimi me te mira me te gjithë aktoreve e përfshire ne fushën
energjetike. Ne kete kuadër Drejtori Juridik Dr. Lorenc Gordani së pari uroi
organizatoret për ndërmarrjen e kësaj iniciative qe shikon përmbushjen një
aspekti thelbësore ne fushen e gazetarise dhe dialogut ndërinstitucionalë siç
është forcimi i bashkëpunimit mes shoqërisë civile dhe gazetarëve te impenjuar
në fushën e energjisë.

Nder te tjera Drejtori Juridik Area, Dr. Lorenc Gordani, shprehu se shpreson se
kjo iniciative do te shërbej për bërjen te mundur te analizave me qasje dhe
inkuadrim me gjithëpërfshirës dhe ne interes publik. Ne momentin aktuale
sistemi energjetikë është ne rrugëtimin e tij drejt zhvillimit dhe çlirimit te
potencialeve ne te gjitha drejtimet: si ne tregun me shume, atë me pakice,
hyrjen e operatoreve te trete, rënien e monopoleve legale te kompanive publike,
e shume te tjera. Por ne një frymë bashkëpunuese te gjitha zhvillimet duhen
adresuar pa eklipsuar ose te paktën duke mbajtur ne vëmendjen e duhur edhe
çështjet e biznesit dhe problematikat e sistemit ne tërësi tha Dr. Lorenc
Gordani.

Për kete më gjithë zhvillimet e shumta, momenti kërkon qe vëmendja te
fokusohet mbi aktoret e vërtet te këtij zhvillimi, pra investitorët qe
kontribuojnë me kapitalet e tyre ne rritjen e kapaciteteve dhe zhvillimin e
përgjithshëm ekonomik. Megjithë dakortesine mbi problemet qe pashmagshmerisht
shoqërojnë këto zhvillime qofte edhe një reflektim i përcipte bene te mendosh
se situata ne te cilin jemi sot duhet te jete pak (apo shume) e trashëguar edhe
si një produkte i një mendësie qe e kapur nga nevojat e momentit te caktuar
vazhdon te shikoj rrugëdalje ne ndërhyrjet me masa emergjente.

Në vijim të takimit diskutimi u përqendruar në mënyrë të veçantë në
identifikimin dhe gjetjen e rrugëve kryesore te bashkëpunimit. Për sa me sipër
pjesëmarrësit u dakordesuan se kjo iniciative qe po lancohet sot si edhe te
tjera të pavarura të fushës së energjisë do te shërbejnë një bashkërendimi më
të suksesshme për zhvillimin e mëtejshëm të sektorit me frymë dhe metoda
nxitëse në zbatim të orientimeve dhe
standardeve të Bashkimit Evropian ne te cilat edhe Shqipëria kërkon te integrohet.

Albania has a liberalized economic framework and conditions for doing business and attracting FDI are improving constantly. In Albania, building new power generation capacities and transmission lines to support its future energy needs and to export is a government priority. According to Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) the country has only exploited 35% of the total potential. Total hydropower reserves are estimated at around 3,000 MW. Potential annual generation may reach up to 16.000 GWh.

Furthermore, the Albanian electricity system relies almost entirely on hydro to cover its electricity demand with 1.7 GW of hydropower capacity installed, according to information from the Energy Community.
