Albania's Solar Power Ambitions Soar with 300 MW Tender

• Albania's latest solar tender aims to construct 300 MW of solar parks, as the country strives to become a net exporter of renewable energy by 2030. Supported by Swiss and European institutions, successful candidates will receive 15-year contracts for their plants' output.

Albania has launched a tender for the construction of 300 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) parks as part of its plan to become a net exporter of renewable energy by 2030. The tender, which opened on Monday and will close on May 17, will accept proposals with capacities ranging from 10 MW to 100 MW. The government will award successful candidates 15-year contracts for their plants' future output. The names of the winners will be announced on July 10. The tender is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

This is the third solar tender held by Albania, which aims to deploy 1 GW of solar power capacity by the end of the decade. The government will no longer provide land rights for individual projects, as it has done in the past. The competitive round has set a cap of EUR 59.97 (USD 65.28) per MWh for offers.
