The heavy rains of the past hours have created floods in various places, but have also improved the energy reserves.
The Albanian Energy Distribution Corporation (KESH) announced that the water in the Drin dam has reached its maximal level, 10 times more than yesterday.
Kesh said that the water level at the Fierza River has increased with 1.4 meters in the past 1.4 meters, reaching 277.9 meters above the sea level.
KESH said they have reduced the energy import with 75%.
The corporation said they are producing with maximal capacity in Koman and Vau I Dejes to supply the population with energy. The main hydropower plant, that of the Fierza dam, is still closed in order to collect reserves.
KESH says they are manaing the increased production in private hydropower plants. Official data say that their production was four times higher in the past 24 hours.
KESH had been facing a fast drop of the water reserve, which increased concerns for financial consequences. Not only the corporation budget, but also that of the government, due to the costs that would bring the energy purchase from import.
