Objective: |
Provide a basis
for the selection of electric power sector investments in
generation and transmission |

Description: |
A number of larger individual projects have been proposed by the Albanian authorities as
regards generation and high voltage transmission. To assist in
the formulation of a consistent electricity sector strategy,
an overall strategic investment study is required. Such a
study should
- Identify and project electricity demand
- Identify potential sources of supply and fuel options
- Inventory such sources on the basis of generation costs
- Recommend possible a set of investment options based on
alternative scenarios

Preparation Status: |
None so far.
Careful coordination with current efforts at rehabilitating
the Albanian electricity sector is necessary. |
