The Tirana Power Storage Project: Powering Albania''s Energy
When you hear "Tirana Power Storage Project," do you imagine giant Duracell bunnies hopping around Albania''s capital? Okay, maybe not that whimsical – but this project is electrifyingly
Chief Executive Officer Bruno Papaj said the firm signed a memorandum of understanding with an Indian investor on the construction of Albania's first lithium ion battery plant. The facility is planned to come online within two years, with 100 MW in annual capacity.
Currently, Albania is updating the national energy strategy, aiming at the diversification of the energy sector through gasification/utilization of natural gas in economic sectors. Mining, metallurgy, food processing, textiles, lumber and cement are among the leading industries in Albania.
There are no data available on waste generated by the energy sector but, considering that more than 90 per cent of the generated power in Albania comes from HPPs, the waste generated through these activities is negligible compared with other types of waste.
The only thermal power plant, in Vlorë (currently non-operational), is capable of meeting the requirements of European environmental standards regarding emissions of air pollutants. Albania has the second largest oil deposits in the Balkans (after Romania) and the largest onshore oil reserves in Europe.
