Statkraft''s floating solar plant on the tank of its Banja hydropower plant in Albania has 2 MW in capacity and also consists of four units. It is the only such power plant in Southeastern Europe with the exception of a few pilot projects in Turkey.

Learn MoreIn late 2023 the 140MW Karavasta solar power plant was completed, having taken Voltalia of France 15 months to build, it is the largest in Albania to date. A 100 MW solar power project called Spitalla in Durrës area is planned to be built next. Albania has enormous potential for electric energy from wind power.
The third application is for a 2 MW photovoltaic plant. Erni Solar is the developer and it intends to build the facility in the village of Bitinckë near Bilisht in Korça district in Albania's southeast. Currently, there is only 23 MW in operational solar power capacity in the entire country.
The unit in the municipality of Durrës in the west of Albania, on the Adriatic coast, is planned for 100 MW in capacity. Karavasta is in Fier. A two-stage tender is under preparation for 100 MW in wind power, though the available capacity could be increased to as much as 150 MW.
Albania gets about 2100–2700 hours of sunshine in a year so it has a great potential for solar energy. Solar energy is easily accessible since most energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun. It could be used for heating and lighting homes, commercial, and industrial buildings.
But asides from controversial gas from controversial countries, Albania is also looking at wind and solar power. There are currently at least 13 solar projects in the pipeline with a capacity of 1.24 GW between them. In addition, a recent wind farm proposal has been given strategic investment status in the country.
Albania's domestic generation is almost entirely dependent on hydropower since the country's only thermal power plant is currently inoperable. The total installed generation capacity has increased over the last few years because of new private investments in hydro power plants and more recently in small solar farms.
