Lower precipitations force electricity import
22/12/2016 00:00
Albania has started importing energy to cover the high internal demand, also due to lower precipitations.
The Distribution Operator said they bought 13.3 million EUR energy to cover the demand until the end of January.
The second half of this month caused a huge demand, due to lower temperatures. On the same time, lower precipitations have caused private hydropower plants to produce less.
The Distribution Operator say they asked the Energy Corporation to increase production, but they are making repairs in Koman. This forced The Distribution to import.
