The rise of renewable energy in Albania | Havenbach
Albania is expanding beyond hydropower into solar and wind. Learn how the country is embracing renewable energy and building a more resilient energy future.
Energy imports do not only have an adverse impact on the country's trade deficit, but they also pose significant risks to the country's energy security. Today, Albania remains a net energy importer as domestic energy production is not able to meet demand.
Albania has enormous potential for electric energy from wind power. Notwithstanding the total licenses distributed throughout the country amounting to approximately 2548 MW with an energy generation potential around 5.7 TWh/year, yet no wind farm projects have been completed, and very few are currently in the pipeline in some way.
By developing its renewable energy sector, Albania can do more than meet domestic needs. It can create jobs, reduce reliance on fuel imports, and position itself as a green energy hub in the Balkans. With the right infrastructure and strategic partnerships, the country has the potential to become a net energy exporter in the region.
Albania must then rely on expensive electricity imports to meet demand. This vulnerability pushed the country to rethink its energy future. Rather than relying on a single source, Albania is now actively investing in new technologies and diversifying its renewable mix.
