TIRANA (Albania), February 20 (SeeNews) – Albania's energy ministry said it has received an application for a building permit for a small hydro power plant (HPP) from local company Deliu Group.
The company plans to build a power plant with installed capacity of up to 2 MW near Thana reservoir in the southwestern town of Lushnja, the energy ministry said in a statement on Monday.
In January, the energy ministry received two applications for building permits for HPPs with installed capacity of up to 2 MW each.
Albania produces 98% of its electricity from HPPs, most of it from three power plants along the Drin river, in the northern part of the country.
