Albanian researchers say that solar could be key to reducing Albania’s reliance on energy imports, but the nation will need to invest in grid infrastructure, streamline laws, and enhance access to funding to support deployment.
A move toward more solar is partly an attempt to diversify Albania’s electricity sources. In “ Evaluation and integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in Albanian energy landscape,” which was recently published in Solar Compass, the scientists said that solar is an adaptable and affordable alternative, given Albania’s sunny climate.
This was mainly due to hydropower and the use of wood biomass in some households. Until 2017 Albania only offered renewable energy incentives for hydropower and as a result solar PV and wind have remained underdeveloped. However, in late 2023, a 140 MW solar plant was reported to have come online.
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. But asides from controversial gas from controversial countries, Albania is also looking at wind and solar power.
