Statkraft has actually restarted operations at the initial unit of its floating solar plant located at the Banja storage tank in southeastern Albania, Norwegian floating solar innovation programmer Ocean Sun, which developed the system, claimed.

Albania-based electrical energy investor AGA-SOLAR has actually made an application for a building permit for a solar park in Darzezë e Re village, near the southwestern city of Fier, the energy ministry claimed.

The European Bank for Restoration as well as Development (EBRD) stated it will extend a 9.1 million euro ($10.7 million) funding to Albanian state-owned power energy Korporata Elektroenergjitike Shqiptare (KESH) for the construction of a floating photovoltaic or pv plant.

Albania's government has actually released 2 licences for the installation of solar photovoltaic plants with a mounted capability of 50 MW each in the community of Fier.

The French renewables company Voltalia has won the contract for the building and also operation of a 100 MW solar plant in Albania following its effective bid in a tender run by the Albanian Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy.

Albania's government stated on Thursday it has actually opened up a tender for the building, maintenance as well as procedure of a 100 MW solar plant (PV) in Spitalle location, near the country's greatest port city of Durres.

Albania will certainly introduce the 3rd public auction for the construction of a solar photovoltaic park, with a planned capacity of 100 MW, regional media reported.

Korporata Elektroenergjetike Shqiptare began development of the EUR13.9 million center in December 2018. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is taking into consideration lending EUR9.5 million to a project which it is said would help reduce the electric company's dependence on hydro earnings.

Norway's Statkraft is developing a 2 MW floating PV array, first announced a year and also a half back, at its 72 MW hydropower plant in Albania's Elbasan region. Norwegian floating PV expert Ocean Sun has agreed to provide technology for the EUR2 million plant.

The task was awarded to French designer Voltalia. The plant will certainly be found in the Karavasta area, in the centre of the nation.

Albania’s government is to find developers of a utility-scale solar project via a new auction later this year, complemented by plans to examine how PV can grow more extensively across the country.
