The water level at the Fierza Lake is increasing rapidly. Recent
information from the Albanian Power Corporation (KESH) suggest that the
water level in the biggest dam of the country has reached 6.5 meters
under the maximal level.
The level rose with 2.5 meters only in the past 24 hours, due to the heavy rains. KESH says that compared to yesterday, the situation today is much worse. The water flow in Fierza has increased with 60%, reaching 1700 cubic meters per second, from 110 that it was this Thursday, when the doors opened.
The Vau i Dejes HPP, where the cascade reaches an end, is filled to 75.68% of its capacity and the water flow is 1300 cubic meters per second. This hydropower plant has a flow of 1350 cubic meters per second, 550 meters of which are produced by the turbines, while the rest is discharged from the open gates.
