Most solar power plants in Albania are small-scale installations, generally with capacities of less than 5 MW. This limited scale of deployment underscores the opportunity for Albania to expand its solar capacity significantly, particularly as the country relies heavily on imported fossil fuels to meet its energy needs.
Albania’s potential for growth in solar energy is underscored by its renewable energy auction program, which has already begun to attract interest from both local and foreign firms.
While Albania has considerable wind potential, particularly in areas like the Lezhe mountains along the Adriatic coast, solar energy is forecasted to outpace wind development in the coming years. BloombergNEF projects that wind energy will reach 370 megawatts of installed capacity by 2030, which is less than half of the forecasted solar growth.
Solar investment in Albania for the next 10 years refers to the country’s strategic focus on expanding its solar energy capacity, driven by its advantageous geographical conditions and growing economic need for renewable energy sources.
