Solar park in Spitalë starts licensing/ 100 MW capacity, the company was

The Energy Regulatory Authority has initiated the licensing procedure for the company "Spitalla Solar", in the activity of producing electricity from the 100 MW photovoltaic plant, in Spitalla, Durrës.

Spitalla Solar is a subsidiary of the company “Voltalia Management International BV” and was announced the winner in March 2021, after an auction held in which 5 companies participated. The price offered for the purchase of energy was 29.89 euros/MW, considered at the time to be extremely favorable. This is the price at which the Albanian state guarantees the purchase of electricity for a period of 15 years for 70 MW, while another 30 MW can be sold by the company on the free market.

The Voltalia company has also built the photovoltaic park in Karavasta, with an installed capacity of 140 MW, which has already entered production. 

Meanwhile, the Hospital Park will be the second largest in the country, having advanced with licensing procedures.

The entry into production of this energy project will be an important step towards diversifying energy production sources, due to our country's dependence on water. Currently, only 6% of the total energy in the country is generated by the sun, while the rest is produced by the Drini Cascade hydroelectric power plants and private and concessionary HPPs.
