How much does American lobbying cost the Government?
Balluku and Yuri Kim

Ola Xama

A day ago, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku accompanied by the American Ambassador Yuri Kim visited the two ships that will produce electricity near the Vlora Tec.

The old and depreciated ships were sold by the minister as a "luck" for our country, since we had been head to head with Germany in the race to get the last two that were left in the entire globe.

The sarcasm of the mockery went further, since as an argument that the company Exelerate Energy was convinced to bring these two ships here and not to Berlin, was the fact that the owners had started to feel themselves Albanians and had put their hands on their hearts so that we would not have energy constraints. The company had even done this while losing money, because in Germany they had asked for a "much higher" value, according to the minister.

To tell some truths in the great winter of fairy tales:

- Germany's need for annual consumption is 500 Terrawatt hours, while Albania's does not exceed 8 Terrawatt hours. So if the ships went to Germany, they would meet only 0.17% of the consumption need! Germany has shut down some of its power plants due to EU directives from 2021 to reduce carbon emissions. The carbon emission standard of ships is that of the World Bank for 2017.

- The bill that Albania will pay for the production of energy from ships in 2023 and 2024 is 336 million euros, or 168 million euros per year. Next year and in 2024 energy may be at these high prices as today, but most likely forecasts are for a softening in 2023 and normalization in 2024.

- KESH was charged with a decision of the Council of Ministers to carry out a limited procurement procedure based on expressions of interest from companies, without publishing a monetary limit or fund limit. The announcement for expressions of interest was published in the APP bulletin from January 24 to January 27, while the public procurement law requires that even in emergency procedures, the announcement should be for a minimum of 10 days. One of the companies that expressed interest was not selected and the financial offer was submitted only by Exelerate Energy and Renco.

Me paratë që do të paguhen anijet mund të ishte ndërtuar më shumë se gjysma e hidrocentralit të Skavicës, apo gjatë gjithë këtij viti që u “pritën” të vinin do të ishte ndërtuar një park diellor që të mbetej në pronësi të KESH. P.SH. parku i Voltalias në Karavasta do të kushtojë 100 milion euro dhe ka një fuqi prodhimi 140 MWh, ndërsa anijet e kanë 114 MWh. Me investim më të vogël, mund të fitoje energji më të pastër dhe me efiçencë më të lartë, ose me të njëjtën vlerë mund të ndërtoheshin 3 parqe me fuqi 400 MWh.

Kompania Exelerate Energy u duk në Shqipëri në fillim të vitit 2020 dhe qeveria nisi bashkëpunim me të duke ndryshuar tërësisht strategjinë e furnizimit me gaz të vendit. Nëse më parë në strategjitë që kishin kushtuar miliona euro nga donatorët e BE e ardhmja e energjitike e Shqipërisë ishte gazi i lëngshëm që do të vinte nga TAP, tashmë kur TAP po përfundonte, planifikohej që gazi të vinte me kontenierë nga SHBA . Exelerate bashkë me një firme tjetër të madhe amerikane Exxon Mobil, do të sillnin gazin dhe do të vinin në punë Termocentralin e Vlorës.

Por rrugës u ndryshua edhe marrëveshja. Tashmë plani për të bërë portin lundrues që do të verë në punë Termocentralin e Vlorës është shtyrë për shkak të krizës energjitike, dhe kompania po “shpëton” Shqipërinë duke sjellë dy anije me kosto 336 milion euro, pa llogaritur ndërtimin e infrastrukturës të ankorimit që kushton 2.5 milion euro.

Kjo marrëveshje mund të mos konsiderohej si lobim, nëse në krah të ministers Balluku nuk do të dilte Ambasadorja Amerikane, e cila do të mbështeste tezën se të gjitha vendet ishin “të dëshpëruara për të gjetur anije të tilla” dhe se ishte mjaft “e lumtur që Shqipëria kishte 2 prej tyre”.

The use of budget money for the improvement of international relations is definitely necessary, but it must be done in the right way. In the case of parties, they must declare the donor and then see if the contributor benefits from the benefits when the party comes to power. When it comes to lobbying a country, the best way is to fulfill the obligations you have as a member country in NATO, achieving the fulfillment of the conditions for investments in the field of defense as much as 2% of the GDP which is the obligation, or the modernization of the infrastructure of the army. That's why Germany didn't take the ships, because they didn't enter the work and it doesn't meet the obligations for international relations with secret contracts like the Albanian government does.
