So far, the solar auctions have produced two PV projects with a total of 240 MW. Albania reports 7 GW of wind and solar potential and is looking into developing ofshore wind in the Adriatic Sea. The availability of renewable energy resources in Albania for some renewable energy technologies is less studied than for others.
Energy Policy of Albania include the promotion for the use of renewable energy sources beyond hydropower due to the significant potential our country has for photovoltaic and wind energy production, and its favorable geographical position, climate conditions and high intensity of the solar radiation for the use of solar energy.
The most significant institutions in setting policy and regulation in the power sector in Albania are the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy (“MIE”) and the Energy Regulatory Authority (“ERE”).
