Floating solar plant in Vau e Dejës - Project worth 13.86 million euros, KESH: Implementation starts within 2025
The project to build a floating solar power plant for electricity production in Vau e Dejës is moving towards implementation. 4 years after the creation of the SENA company, the Albanian Power Corporation announces that construction is expected to begin within 2025.
SENA is owned by KESH, and its main focus is precisely the development and operation of the floating photovoltaic plant in Vau e Dejës. In this context, in October last year, a contract worth 13.86 million euros was signed for the design, construction and operation of the plant with the merger of 2 foreign companies: Gamma Solution from Spain and the Chinese Sungrow.
The capacity of the floating plant will be 12.97 MWp. According to calculations, the expected production in the first year will reach 18,808 mWh, with an average production of 17,822 mWh/year throughout its life. Meanwhile, according to KESH, although floating photovoltaic plants are still considered a new technology, the plant's anchoring system will ensure normal operation even with fluctuations of up to 15 meters of water level and maximum wind resistance for the next 50 years.
The construction of the floating solar plant is one of KESH's projects, within the framework of diversifying energy production sources. Currently, the public energy production company owns only one solar plant of 5.14 MWp positioned at the Qyrsaqi dam, in Vau e Dejës, while the rest of the generating assets include the 3 HPPs of the Drini Cascade.
