In the first 8 months of this year, the energy produced in the country reached 6.2 million megawatts. Compared to 2022, there are 1.6 million megawatts more, generated thanks to the good climate situation with the rains that fell at the end of 2022.

Drini’s Cascade, which is managed by Albanian Electricity Corporation (KESH), has been the main source of production with more than 60% of the amount, while private Hydroelectric Power Plants and alternative sources produced 40 percent.

What is noticed in the first 8 months is the minimization of network losses. In this period, the wasted energy was at the level of 19%.

Fierza captured historical maximum quotas, at stable levels above 290 meters for the entire part of the year, the energy produced managed to cover domestic needs, eliminating purchases abroad.

However, this situation started to reverse after September, where KESH is buying in the foreign market, and with the current quantity and prices, it is spending about 5 million euros per week.
