Albania's Bajrami N seeks permit to build small HPP near Elbasan
Albania's energy ministry said it has received an application for a building permit for a small hydro power plant (HPP) from local company Bajrami N. The company plans to build a power plant of up to 2 MW on a tributary of the Gostime river in Elbasan district, central Albania, the energy ministry said in a statement earlier this week. Last week, the energy ministry received two applications for building permits for HPPs with installed capacity of up to 2 MW each in the northeastern region of Dibra. Albania produces 98% of its electricity from HPPs, most of it from three power plants along the Drin river.
