3170 GWh. Albania, like all the Western Balkans countries, has significant potential for energy efficiency, especially with regard to its high distribution losses which totalled 19.7 per cent in 2022. Better insulating houses and using heat pumps instead of old-style electrical heaters would also help to decrease unnecessary demand, while ...
Albania''s electricity sector lacks energy storage systems (ESS); hence, large quantities of electricity generated during the off-peak time, and excess electricity cannot be stored. On the other hand, the transmission capacity upgrades do not keep pace with the growth in peak electric demand; thus, congestion-related issues occur. …
