The recent drought has forced the Energy Distribution Operator (OSHEE)
to start a bid to import 285.000 MW to supply the country for the June
28th and July 31st period.
The water reserves at the Drin cascade have dropped to minimal levels, even 15 meters lower than the last year.
With these imports, OSHEE plans to cover 53% of the consumption, while the rest, 47%, will be covered by local production.
These imports will hurt the OSHEE annual budget significantly, forced to even cut its further investments, since current prices will force them pay 18 million EUR just for July,
