The crisis had an Immediate impact on increasing electricity market (import) prices in Albania (reached 482 Euro/MWh in August 2022) - Import prices have followed market prices
Albania is a net importer of electricity; power supply security is a challenge. Albania's domestic generation is almost entirely dependent on hydropower since the country's only thermal power plant is currently inoperable.
Changing weather patterns over the years have forced the country to import energy to cover domestic needs, as a lack of storage capacity requires Albania to sell its generated power during peak months of production.
Albania, with a population of around 2.85 million, is almost entirely dependent on hydropower for its electricity supply. This gives it an advantage in decarbonising its electricity sector but also makes it highly vulnerable to the changing climate.
Today, Albania remains a net energy importer as domestic energy production is not able to meet demand. When it comes to renewable energy imports, Eurostat data shows that the country ranks 8 th in Europe.
