Albania intends to add 1 GW of solar capacity through three competitive procedures and plans to call for investors by June for a total of 300 MW. BalkanEngieer.com has learned this from Balkangreenenergynews.com. The call is expected to be released by June.

 

 

The French company Voltalia won the last two tenders and last year started construction of its Karavasta PV site with a peak capacity of 140 MW. The tenders for Karavasta and Spitalle were held after the locations were determined.

 

This time, bidders will have to propose potentially suitable sites in areas marked by the Albanian ministry. Investors must provide proof of viability of their proposed sites. The documentation should include evidence that the site is not in a prohibited area and that it is suitable from a sustainability perspective.

 

Potential bidders need a bid for connection to the transmission network together with an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment - ESIA. The assessment must be prepared in accordance with the most stringent criteria of Albanian legislation, the EU environmental acquis and lenders.
