Setting targets towards a viable energy model in Albania.

Download Presentation HERE.

Presentation Held at Tirana Economic Forum

In order we can meet with Paris Agreement objective we have to scaled up to 6 time faster with Renewable Energies in order to have by 2050 a Neutral Europe. 

By 2030 EU targets, we should meet over 32% of Renewables, and 32.5% of EE.

But what is the situation in Albania Energy Sector. I will focus in this presentation mostly in electricity demands and gaps which must be filled by new renewable technologies.

Our electricity is produced 100% from hydropower. And in 2017 we see that our Net Production was only 4525GWh, which is 37% less compare to previous year because of climate change. The question rise, is still fine to invest in massive hydro power plants? Imports for 2017 were 45%, every year Albania is spending 160 to over 200 million Euros for imports. 

Albania has installed over 2.1GW Hydro capacities, and on going are 545 other small hydro power plants, but are hydro investment capacities meet the energy demand by more than 40% till 2030?, here including the climate change effects?

To meet this Albania has implemented an important Law On Promoting the use of Energy from RES, which practically is driving investments in Hydro, PV, Wind, EE.

To make diversification of Energy Mix, Based in this Law, it is implementit FIT for PV and Wind , with capacities till 2020, at least 30MW of Wind and 50MW of PV. But are these targets enough with Albania which is importing 45% of its electricity ?

The capacities are available to invest : Like in Wind there are over 857MW of licences are given, no investment in horizon in this. Most of the interesting places to invest are Karaburun Peninsula, Gjader Hills, South east and North West of Albania.

Albania rely on dominant single source of electricity supply, like Hydropower, and on imported oil and gas. “How we can address these vulnerabilities?, is  by diversifying the energy mix within the region as well as sources of external supply, by promoting energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources.”

Smart Energy in our cities, it is an opportunity for Public and commercial building too, to start invest in EE, and focus in PV systems up to 500kW as also is specified by the law. In order to have CO2 reduction and meet energy demand we should start act now, where this kind of technologies have the return of investment up to max 5-6years.

In large scale of investments there are available over 2GW PV in West Albania, at least in 4 main area. In Vlora Akerni 950MW, in Fier Darzeze 375MW, Fier Seman 340MW, in Lushnja Karavasta 380MW.The mixture of all renewable energy options could help the Western Balkans cut its carbon emissions, while delivering secure and sustainable energy at a lower cost.

Ecomondo and Key Energy biggest energy event on 2018

Ecomondo and Key Energy offers today’s biggest platform for the entire Mediterranean basin with 1250 exhibiting companies attracting over 116,000 attendees. Ecomondo has successfully anticipated business changes over time, from waste processing to dialoguing with industry on the development of an economic model based on green technologies. All sectors are efficiently represented, from waste to integrated water cycle, to air, bio-based industry and energy.

The intended vision is that of the circular economy, which involves the formation of new  interconnected industrial clusters as set out in the future investment plans of the European Commission.

Key Energy is the leading fair for renewable energy in the Mediterranean Area.

Focus on photovoltaic and storage, solution for energy efficiency in industry and residential, solutions for sustainable intermodal, connected mobility and sustainable cities.

THE ENERGY CHAIN

The world of energy efficiency, renewable energy and electric mobility is experiencing an incredibly fast evolution on a global scale as a consequence of the obligations taken in the Paris Climate Agreement.

In Italy there are some interesting signals with a forecasted growth in these sectors. The recently approved National Energy Strategy pushes the country towards targets  such as 55% production of renewable energy and 5 million electric vehicles by 2030.

Considerable investments will be addressed towards urban centres, hubs of economic and cultural activities.  70% of the 7,798 municipalities has a population equal to or less than 5,000 inhabitants. Cities with a high urban development represent only the 3.4% but also accommodate the 33% of the total population. Improve the quality of the air, transports, common areas and services means invest on quality and well-being, and this represents one of the biggest challenges for the local administrations and for the country.

Service’s high standards can be achieved only with a correct investments’ planning together with industrial capacities, engineering and adequate forecasting, all with one common goal: sustainability and inhabitants’ quality of life.

Backed by this favourable background, Key Energy aims to become the flagship event in the field of renewable energy solutions.

CURRENT AND FUTURE TRENDS

Global renewable energy in 2017:

  • Investments amounting to 333,5 bil. $
     
  • with a record injection of 160 bil. on photovoltaic, +18% year on year, regardless the reduction of costs.

Italian investments has seen an increase of +15%, for a total amount of 2,5 bil. $ according to the BNEF statistics.

In 2018 global solar plants will reach at least 107GW, compared to the 98GW in 2017 (+10%).

Italy’s National Energy Strategy has set the target of achieving  55% share of renewables in electricity consumption by 2030: by that time, 5 million vehicles will be electric and 145 billion will have been invested in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

In Italy there are projects aiming to develop photovoltaic plants for hundreads of MW, achieved with no incentives; Regional calls have contributed to the increase of  storage systems.

The exhibition area dedicated to the most innovative integrated solar technologies and to combination with storage systems, mains supply provided from storage and Demand Response and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) systems.

 

An entire hall of technology, systems and solutions for a more intelligent use of energy resources in industry.
Key Efficiency is the meeting point between technology producers, funding bodies and industry, where best practice among those who have chosen the path of efficiency can be tested.

    

Key Energy Storage is the exhibition area dedicated to storing energy from renewable sources.

The project was launched to highlight the importance of a technology which is key to energy efficiency. Energy Storage Systems avoid the requirement to acquire energy, allowing energy obtained from renewable sources to be used when the user needs it.

Making optimal use of this energy is imperative. The need to achieve the Cop21 targets and the advantages and economic benefits that Energy Storage Systems offer make them a reality that will guide the market in the coming years.

Over time, Ecomondo Key Energy has proven capable of adapting to the changing market and aims to become the Mediterranean base for this product.
