Three tenders for the purchase of energy have been developed by the Albanian Power Corporation, within a period of 10 days. According to the data processed by TV SCAN, a total of about 9 million euros were spent for the purchase of 95,922 mWh of energy that will serve to meet consumer needs until June 30.
The price at which the energy was provided in the unregulated market varies from 76 euros/mWh to 118 euros/mWh, while the average price for all 3 purchase procedures is calculated at 94.25 euros/mWh. These are the first energy purchase procedures for this year, as until now the needs have been met by the production of the Drin Cascade hydropower plants. As this situation is affected by the lack of rainfall and the increase in demand for energy due to the increase in temperatures.
In fact, until the middle of June, the water situation has favored the commercial activity of the Albanian Electricity Corporation, which has developed 2 tenders for the sale of energy as well as a series of optimization procedures. In total, KESH has generated around 6.2 million euros in income from commercial activity this year.
