The United Nations Development Program is supporting a program to install solar panels in Albania. The program has used $2.75 million to support the installation of 75,000 m (810,000 sq ft) of solar panels. By 2010, 10,700 m (115,000 sq ft) of solar panels were installed and by 2014 the target had been met. There are 50,000 m (540,000 sq ft) of solar panels expected to be install
Privatized energy in Albania refers to the transition of the country''s energy sector from state control to a more market-oriented model following the collapse of communism in the early 1990s.

In 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.
This article lists the main power stations in Albania. There were 144 active power stations operating in the country in 2016. The table below lists only stations that have at least 10 MW of power capacity. As of 2022, there were 16 solar projects totaling 570 MW planned in Albania. ^ Spasić, Vladimir (2022-01-17).
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.
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.
