The projects will be awarded a feed-in tariff (FIT) contract with a regulated tariff of €100/MWh.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the country’s Ministry of Energy are now seeking consultants for the implementation of the competitive bidding process.
In addition to ten project proposals for solar parks not exceeding 2 MW, the Albanian Ministry of Energy and Industry has also accepted an application for a 5 MW PV facility.
The regulated tariff, which was previously granted only to small and medium hydro- power plants, was extended to PV up to 2 MW and wind projects not exceeding 3 MW in size.
Overall, 11 similar proposals for PV and hydropower projects of up to 2 MW have been filed to date by the Albanian Ministry of Energy and Industry.
Through the auction, which will receive the support of the European Bank for Development and Reconstruction (ERBD), the government hopes to install between 30 MW and 50 MW of solar.
The 2 MW solar facility is planned to be installed in Lushnje, a municipality in west-central Albania.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will help the Albanian government to set up an auction mechanism for large-scale PV plants. Between 50 MW and 100 MW will be allocated in the first auction.
Albania’s Ministry of Energy and Industry has received an application for a 1.7 MW PV project last week. This is one of several large-scale PV project proposals that were submitted to local authorities over the past few months.
